Tonight we attended an awards ceremony for Expedition 18 to the International Space Station. This was a mission that Glenn worked on a lot, in terms of the new toilet system and the new water reclamation components. It was fun to go since we are extended friends of astronaut Mike Fincke and his family. Glenn was actually part of 3 groups that were acknowledged, and he was able to stand up 3 times and get the applause from the audience. (A person who lead the group he was a part of got to accept the award on behalf of the team) The one I have footage of is for repairs of the toilet. I know it is a very dark video but it proves we were there and that Glenn is doing good things at work. The kids enjoyed being able to see the video that the astronauts put together to share with the group about their mission. It was nice because part of the footage they showed included our friend Tony Antonelli when he arrived with the STS-119 mission to the ISS. Akorren even asked the astronauts a question about what it felt like when they landed from space. It was a nice night for the whole family.
