This photo shows team members hover in front of the computer screens in the mission support area.  Two men wearing ties and one young African American woman wearing a headset (to talk to mission control) point at the screens and compare notes from printed out spacecraft predicts made before launch.  Two women in the far right of the image talk earnestly about other data coming down from the spacecraft.
