Pettit has *absolutely* fantastic pics of the earth from ISS. Must be seen to be believed like they say. A very worthwhile drive. He is also the fix-it man's man. I think he duct taped his Makita power drill to his bag before he went to sleep each night. |

Possibly he rigged up a special attachment to his Makita power drill and mixed the cake batter...... |
