Today, we studied the emergency recovery/rescue system, which explains the various systems and safety measures to be taken in the event of any malfunctions (from 30 minutes before launch until our return to earth).

I discovered your blog today and look forward to following your adventure from my Macbook Pro! I love Cirque du Soleil. I watched Neil and Buzz walk on the Moon when I was 11.
