Moving away from AngularJS to reduce dependencies, and also moving away from declarative JSON based configuration to more a function call based system... Well this is interesting news indeed. The description also makes me wonder if they are aiming to use Crossbar.io, time will tell I suppose.

Interesting. Where do you see the plan?

Or here...which has some more links: https://nasa.github.io/openmct/getting-started/

Honestly, I'm thinking to myself, in what part of my day to day can I use mission control software....hmmm....grocery lists?! I really want to use this but can't find a problem for it.

Could I use this for a personal dashboard? It's meant to track telemetry, so that would include my walking routes, right? ;) Maybe I could also load up my todo list. I know, overkill, but it might be a huge ego thing to throw up a NASA developed Mission Control app on a huge monitor to track personal stuff. And each morning I could put on my headset and do a countdown to getting started for the day.

It is pretty easy to plug in your own telemetry. I recently made some data from our hackerspace (electricity consumption, whether the hackerspace bar is open, etc) show up in OpenMCT:
