“I was late. Very late,” she said of her last-minute drive across town to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. “I realized when I got to the room that it was a bigger meeting than I realized.”Wiseman hadn’t planned on attending the meeting after seeing that the meeting was listed as an update on a troubled Russian spacecraft. He was at a doctor’s appointment.
