After a 7-hour, successful gravity traverse around Haughton Crater, I just minutes ago sat down at my laptop. LJ showed an entry from [personal profile] hopeforyou. The IP phone rang. I picked it up... it was Mike Fincke, science officer on the International Space Station. Yes, calling from orbit...

I waved over the Hamilton-Sundstrand spacesuit guys and put it on the speakerphone. The tent filled up... the connection wasn't bad, no worse than an analog cell phone with some static. Mike talked about following our activities here for the past couple of years, talked with the H-S guys about an upcoming spacewalk on Tuesday, and told Pascal that he hoped they'd be training here for a Mars mission someday.

Caller ID says "unknown number"...
