Anybody know how much control these astronauts have over the shuttle during the time this thing broke-up?

A fair amount.

And, any idea if she was behind the controls?

Nope. She's a "mission specialist," not a shuttle pilot.

Then shame on Shep. Even if the astronaut in question (Interesting...I don't know her name but know I WILL know it and probably never forget it shortly) made the mistake he spoke of, that fact has NOTHING to do with what happened today.

FOX did the right thing.
