Alex!
I’m really happy that’s you who get up there again. You’re in my mind and my prayer. These days i also remember Alan Bean (a hero of my childhood dreams) and think you can be proud to stand on the shoulder of giants and be followed by millions of enthusiastic space-fans.
Good Luck („Glück Auf!“)
Greetings from Oberhausen, Gert
Hey Alex, so good luck and the best of your journey around our planet. I hope your lunch is famous and all thinks took without problems.
Good journey
