John Blaha had a depression aboard Mir, according to Ad Astra (from the NSS).
"I think the biggest thing was the vehicle that I was going to go home in was not attached to the Mir, and that I could have been 10 miilion light years away from Earth. In other words, I felt we (his family) were that separated".

The Soyuz is there, but if it needs to be used, it's a Russian who'll pilot it and it will land in Kazakhstan, not in an American desert. The same applies to the current astronauts, BTW.
But Peggy is enjoying her flight, isn't she?
(BTW, the NSS is finally publishing the Ad Astra articles online! Do I still need a membership?)
