Author	Topic: 7/15: STS-124's Ron Garan @ Cradle of Aviation
Tom Member Posts: 1597 From: New York Registered: Nov 2000	posted 07-15-2008 08:17 PM Just got back from a great presentation held at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, New York this evening. STS-124 astronaut Ron Garan, originally from New York, gave a very interesting presentation that included slides of the mission as well as his NEEMO 9 experience, along with a video that contained cabin conversation recorded during the STS-124 launch on May 31. He also answered a few questions following the video.

I was a little disappointed that he wasn't around to sign items. I wonder if it was his choice or the museum's---giving the standard "plane catching statement."
