It took some willpower for Elizabeth Howell to keep her vacation work-free. While she was visiting the Endeavour exhibit in Los Angeles, both the Antares rocket and SpaceShipTwo crashed to the ground: "I received interview requests concerning these incidents shortly after they occurred, and turned them down. Yes, it might have helped my career to take time out of my vacation to cover these stories, but I was okay with passing these up to try to get back home refreshed."
