The Soyuz TMA1 crew in Ghent
Today, I saw Frank De Winne (again) , but this time with Sergei Zaletin his commander , Yuri Lonchakov (the third cosmonaut) and Alexander Lazutkin (who was aboard Mir when the collision occured in 1997).
It was great, in a prestigious place, the Ghent Town Hall, near canals, castels, belforts, churches of the 16th century. Huge paintings representing Charles V too!
Yuri told me he only had 11 days of training (because of the Lance Bass flop).
And we were there among astronut fans and friends.
A great time.
