The STS-124 Crew (less Ron Garan; visiting schools in Ireland and Greg Chamitoff currently on orbit) visited Norwich. The event held at the John Innes Centre was a great success. There was a business sponsored lunch and an evening buffet.
The astronauts were on fine form; friendly, informative and fun. The evening event comprised a short video presentation (with personal astronaut commentary) followed by a lively Q&A session. The astronauts then attended the buffet and were available for chat, photographs and autographs.
Highly recommended that you try and see them while in the U.K events in Bradford and Leeds follow later this week.
Bye for now
