Involvement in L-1 pre-launch briefings can take one of three forms -- either as the master of ceremonies, a presenter or a scriptwriter.  The briefing is composed of two twenty minute presentations -- one that focuses on KSC as a wildlife refuge and also provides an overview of Shuttle processing, followed by a second presentation that highlights projected mission, science and crew activities.

Gary is learning html and will serve as the co-curator for the L-1 Briefing pages.
