Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by FFrench on 11-05-2008 12:26 PM I found [URL=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Marmaris_topra%C4%9F%C4%B1_uzayda.jpg]this image[/URL]. There is writing on the panels, some of in English: <CENTER>[i]The People of the Republic of Turkey And the United States of America Working Together Will Explore The Far Reaches of Space Through Our Joint Efforts The World Will Be A Better Place To Live This Statue Has Been Built For The Memory Of James Reilly Who Carried The Turkish Flag And Marmaris Pennant In Space 6 June 1997 Municipality of Marmaris[/i]</CENTER> I wonder if this might be connected somehow to the OCSS and their Turkish Space Camp efforts. Another website states: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]It was erected in honour of US astronaut James Reilly II, who carried the Turkish flag and Marmaris pennant into space for the first time on mission STS-89 in 1998[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> [b]Editor's note[/b]: For a February 2009 update about this statue, see: <A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/003969.html">Astronaut saved from sinking in the sea</a>.
