Space - The Final Frontier Don't it just give you the goosebumps? One of my neighbors is good friends with one of the astronauts who did the spacewalks that repaired the Hubble. And, my wife is going to get one or two of the battery cells from the battery pack that was replaced. My wife is very excited to get her hands on the batteries that have been in orbital flight. This is the first time batteries have been returned to Earth in the same packaging when they left in Earth. I have packet QSL cards from every shuttle mission plus several 2 meter contacts and an American Flag flown by Maj. Gen. Charles F. Bolden, Jr. (USMC - Retired) on board Discovery during STS-60 and a space/Earth picture autographed by the crew - Charles F. Bolden - Commander, Kenneth S. Reightler Jr. - Pilot, N. Jan Davis - Mission Specialist, Ronald M. Seg - Mission Specialist - Franklin R. Chang-Diaz - Mission Specialist, Sergei K. Krikalev - Mission Specialist. Neener, neener, neener. :) |
