Hi Nate and all,

ARISS does a GREAT job even just having us "on board". Thanks guys. It's one of the only ways us astronaut "wanna-bees" can say we've ever interacted in a personal way with ISS... otherwise it's just something we know is up there and can see during certain passes when the sun angles are right. Watching the construction on NASA TV just isn't the same as having talked to someone "up there".
that's similiar for me, that's why sometimes I wonder if I can catch someone up there just to say HI :-) I only had a contact with ISS when Bill McArthur was up there. I just asked about the current situation because it's tiring to call all the time :-)
Thanks and 73 Francesco IZ8DWF
