CONGRATS to the crew of MARS-88 -- and to you, Laksen. Earth has missed you -- but we also appreciate all that you have done for us.
Welcome back! And congratulations!!!!
Thanks Trish,
back home and with the family and adjusting to Earth. Had an amazing mission and lots of stories and pictures to share. It was "out of this world" while being in this world. Still coming to terms with the whole experience. We really had a very powerful experience and a superb mission to the Mars Desert Research Station and accomplished so much and made such strong connections between crew members... it going to some time before it all comes together.
I trust you EY trip is going well. I have already booked my flights so looking forward to joining you in EU in a few weeks.
Will you keep in touch?
Laksen
Laksen - This is so cool and amazing! I am totally inspired.
Welcome home Earth and Congratulations!!
Son,
