Just in case somebody missed it.
Right now the crew members are preparing their third space walk on ISS.
I use to blow the pictures up on my TV and find it rather interesting to follow their work up there, somewhere around our planet.

Only one week left for the first swedish astronaut to be launched into space and to enter the ISS where he's supposed to make 2 out of 3 EVA's (spacewalks). Good luck to Christer Fuglesang!

Yeah, we had a floating dutchman up there a while ago.

...did Swiss ever go into space? Oh yes, I remember: Claude Nicollier....

I've been in space many times.

Finally, Christer

I just saw now that he even has got his own website in swedish: http://www.christerfuglesang.com/
...and the clock is ticking.

I think this man is becoming famous over here regardless if he wants it or not. :mryellow:

Soon it is time

I will stay up to watch this. For me, this is the biggest thing that has happened to Sweden during my time. Space is the place!

Ah, well. They will have to try one or two days later. But I will watch the launch. Go Christer!

Ok, about 5 hours left for a second atemt.
May god be with all the 14.000 workers at Nasa Houston, STS-116, Christer Fuglesang and the Discovery space shuttle because tonight I want to see the big egnition that's going to puch the the first swede and STS-116 crew members in their backs all the way up to space orbiting the earth.
LETS GO FLY Christer!!

God can be with or without this launch but I hope that it will go ahead. Go Christer!

This is the most amasing even I have ever whitnesed. I am actually crying right now. This is the greatest ever!

So the first launch at night in four years and a beautiful night launch of the space shuttle it became indeed. :mryellow:
Discovery made a role after start to fly over Spain and France on its way into orbit.

Damn, I have to watch tv to watch the video, or maybe it is on internet. I love these events
