And so, I will be probably, since I am not involved in all the activity, I will have some spare time to devote to document all this busy part of the flight.

And then my chance really happened in 1996 when we added the second flight of the tether satellite.

I was, I remember, I still remember when the first time I pointed the telescope at the sky and I saw Saturn with the rings. It was a beautiful image.

And then I graduate two years later, in 1998, with my class. And, since then I've been here in Houston for training basically. And I was very happy to be assigned to this mission.

At that point, there will be the handover between the shuttle arm and the station arm so that the shuttle arm will take the cradle and put it into the cargo bay.

For the first time in history all the major countries in the world are pushing together to reach this goal... building something in space that is really for all humankind.

I remember; I was 15 years old when Neil Armstrong put feet in the moon.
