Cool photos Becker.

Thats how we got off on this tangent on weightlessness, Me mentioning how much fun those guys (and girl) were having on hatch opening, they were on cloud nine for sure. Probably having more fun right then than ive seen from any NASA crew on ISS. They looked like kids on a amusement ride.

Kibo looks great. Japan has been developing it for twenty years, is that correct? What a marvel. STS-124 is definately one of my favorites missions so far and I cant wait to get a chance to simulate it here. Even better will be when the "Front porch" is installed with STS-126(?).
