Hello Suzy!
I'm Raoul, from Belgium.
There's a fascinating book, especially about the Russian space program, called "Leaving Earth" by Robert Zimmerman.
He also praises Sergei very much. (Sergei has been known, here in Europe, since his first flight with Chretien in 1988). When he went to the US for his first Shuttle flight, he was puzzled by the way everybody smiled for any reason, while it isn't something obvious to him. He must by now have an extensive knowledge of many cultures!
