Local Person Makes Good

With the number of remaining space shuttle missions counting down towards zero, the thought does occur to me that I could start spending more time keeping track of what's happening on the space station. That thought was also prompted, though, by hearing that one of the Canadian astronauts, Chris Hadfield, is going to be not just on board but in charge two years from now. I suppose that national interest aside, it's easier to keep track of the Canadian astronauts because there aren't as many of them, but the news still caught my attention because I hadn't quite imagined the possibility before.
