Thank you for all the kind comments. It was an incredible trip! While I was gone Virgin Galactic send me a beautiful scale model of the SS2 Spacecraft that I hope is my next trip.

Fox Channel 25 came to the house today and interviewed me about my trip. I also provided some of my videos and pictures. They also shot the model.

A piece is expected to run tonight at 10 and 11 PM on Fox.



To answer a couple of questions: Costs are 350 euros per person per day. Camera is a Canon Power Shot A540. I wanted a camera with a view finder because its often to bright to watch the display. I also wanted a camera that uses two AA batteries so I can use the same "Energizer Lithium" batteries I use on my other equipment. They are much more powerful than alkaline batteries and work down to 40 below.
