Hello everybody there inside ISS
How many people are you all together inside now? When visible from earth I often watch you passing above my head. Unbelievable, but marvellous. Being a retired professor of French language in Belgium, I don’t understand the scientific possibilities, but I admire you all.
Congratulations, to everyone, on earth as well as in space.
Kind regards from Mimi Dewulf
