Got a call at short notice to meet Andre here,he spoke for 3hrs about his Delta mission to the ISS last Year,then spent a good while signing,etc.,he asked me a good bit about my upcoming suborbital trip,he and I had both been on the Ilyushin zero G plane at Star City! Only bad point was someone stealing his Omega Speedmaster in the post-landing medical tent! He is a great ambassador for his country and space.
