Coming Back Down To Our Fragile Oasis
Nov 25, 2011 07:42:51 AM | Ron Garan

- Saying goodbye to our friends on the ISS was bittersweet after nearly 6 months in space. Although Andrey Borisenko, Sasha Samokutyaev & I were eager to return to Earth, we wanted to savor our last moments as we took a couple of laps around our Fragile. Today, November 21, 2011, we look forward to welcoming our crewmates Mike Fossum, Sergei Volkov & Satoshi Furukawa as they come “Down to Earth” after their half year onboard the International Space Station. God Speed & Welcome Home Guys!

- I am enjoying some time off after an incredibly busy two weeks. Since my last post, the Space Shuttle Endeavour docked, and then undocked after a very successful sixteen-day mission.

Beginnings and Endings: Lots in Between

-
- It is wonderful to be able to connect with projects and people making the world a better place, and being able to fly over these areas and see them from this incredible vantage point. All of us on our planet are connected through our shared humanity – even those of us living in space.

My First Blog Post From Space
May 20, 2011 10:22:18 AM | Ron Garan

- About 10 seconds before the planned liftoff we could hear and feel the engines start. When the clock hit zero, we could feel ourselves being propelled upward. In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first human to space, Soyuz Commander Alexander Samokutyaev calmly said, "In the words of Yuri Gararin, Поехали." (We’re off.). I, on the other hand, let loose with a spontaneous “Woo Hoo!”

Last Blog Post On Earth. For Now.
May 20, 2011 10:35:48 AM | Ron Garan

- As I have said on this blog before, one of my personal mission objectives is to use the unique perspective of living and working in space to inspire people to make the world a better place. I really think if everyone could see what we see from space, we would have a lot fewer problems and everyone would be more inclined to help each other. Since we all can’t have this experience, I will do my best to share it with all I can, as best I can.
