Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 10-15-2008 01:22 PM During yesterday's arrival ceremony (which you can [URL=http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum31/HTML/000234.html#docking]watch here[/URL]), Richard's brother said that Richard's coded launch message referenced "leaving the cradle of the Earth." Also, if you missed it elsewhere on the site, our interview with Richard Garriott and his father Owen is now online: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="+0"><A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-101408a.html">Astronaut's son reboots dad's work in orbit</a></font> [i]Richard Garriott's approach to the International Space Station (ISS) this morning may have seemed familiar to him, even though this was his first flight in space. That feeling could be attributed in part to the six months of training he underwent for the mission, but it might also have been what happened when he was twelve, or more appropriately, what his father did then. Consider it generational déjà vu. Thirty-five years ago, seated in the right seat of a three man capsule, Owen Garriott docked with a space station. This morning, Richard Garriott did more or less the same thing. It wasn't the same spacecraft, nor the same space station, but the father's and son's missions share a lot in common.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <a name="emulsion"></a>
