Mission STS-134

Shuttle launch no earlier
than May 8
:-( 

When today Endeavour starts from Kennedy Space Center for the final mission, there is Andreas sitting in the control room in Houston.

I remember when ESA recruited astronauts I asked him, if he made an application. Because I´m dreaming of someone doing a photo from the Blue Planet special for me. But he answered no, he will not be an astronaut because he doesnt´t like to fly. Ok, that´s a reason. 

So now he is not  the one who is calling Houston because of a problem, he is the one who solves it. 

There will not be a Blue Planet Photo for me.

But I´m looking forward for a photo of the Shuttle launch taken by Prof. Wim de Boer, who is following all at Kennedy Space Center.
