You can sleep easy, though, knowing that while this blog hasn't been updated all that much, we've still been extremely busy. The good folks on the ISS have been playing around with their radio setup, and that's caused us a few little problems in our testing. We've managed to work around it, though, and get all our testing done. An example of our final push: the last couple of nights, we've haven't left school until 10 or 11 o'clock at night.
I suppose at this point, it goes beyond testing. We're not just testing; we're rehearsing. We're all going to have a role to play, and we're going to make sure that come contact day, everything goes smoothly.
As I'm sure you've noticed, we're holding a contest here. In a nutshell, we want you to suggest some questions! Given the chance, what would you ask the brave men and women on the space station? On our home page, we've got a link at the top of the page. Click on that link, and fill out our easy form. Almost instantly, we'll get an email with your question. We're going to choose a few winners to come to our contact live and ask the questions themselves. Pretty darn exciting, eh?
In any event, expect to hear a lot more from us in the coming weeks. Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to be making some history!
In the meantime, though, enjoy these pictures taken by Debby Walker from Humber, Etc. Thanks Debby!

I'm not sure what we're panicking over, but I'm sure it's nothing!
