Jacqueline Member Posts: 344 From: UK Registered: Jan 2001	posted 03-22-2001 03:48 PM Just like to say a fond farewell to the Russian Space Station Mir. It seems strange to think that it has been up there for 11 years of my life. Tomorrow it will be gone. I hope that it dies a dignified death in the ocean. Wish I could see it's final moments. Goodbye Mir Jacqueline

At a certain moment a group of them could be seen checking a Hardcover book specially published for the MIR return ... TSUP did publish small hardcover booklets for each Soyuz mission and published a special edition for the return of MIR ... I saw it available at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1125135383 Good luck !
