Anyone attending tomorrow? We were going to attend the event this evening; stop overnight and pop into the SpaceCentre again tomorrow.

We will be setting off early tomorrow instead now that this evenings event was cancelled. Great news about the STS-119 crew visit too. Looks like a bumper year again for astronaut fans.

Where were you all?! Didn't see any other cS regulars. Dr. Seddon was fantastic she freely signed and posed for photos. An intelligent and good looking lady. She gave a short talk to an accompanying video of the STS-40 flight. She was particularly generous with her time with the kids.

It was our first visit to the Spaceport well worth a visit! We also visited the U-Boat 534 exhibition across the Mersey. We will save the Beatles exhibition for another time.

A big thank you to the staff at Spaceport both obliging and professional, thanks to Chris Barber of ISSET and to Dr. Rhea Seddon for a special event.
