As of the date 03/01/03 all seating has been filled, however, there is still seating available for a live simalcast to accomodate an expected overflow crowd in the Planetarium on the second floor. But tickets are going fast.

According to the person I talked to on the phone, an announcement will be made next week some time on wether the astronauts will have time for a post lecture book signing.

See you there.

I asked him if he had any plans to write his own book about his experiences; he said that he'd been working on it on and off for the last twenty years, and could probably finish it in a year.

That was last year...
