    Maybe each chapter should begin with a poem...😉 Though I will need to become less sensitive to critics.

    Will there be space poems in it? I just found a book of space poems!

    I had a full range of feelings. From euphoria floating weightless to loneliness missing family.

    Please share your experience with me. How do you feel being in space?

    You're hearing 'HAP Check' (Helmet Absorption Pad) Checking for water leaks in their helmets.

    Please explain the "hab" checks the astros are doing periodically.

    Yes! Viewing Earth from space gives an added dimension of depth. One fragile borderless home.

    Do you know what the "overview effect" is? Do you acknowledge it?
