Trench? What trench? I don't see a trench! and what about this "trench2000" name? What's up with that?
Relax... I needed a "catchy" website name... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... the front row of Mission Control is known as "the trench".
The "trench2000" moniker is just a shameless attempt to capitalize on the "Y2K" histeria. Did it work? <g>
Since I used to be a Flight Dynamics Officer, and the FDO resides in "the trench", it was an appropriate name... satisfied?
