Early morning June 24, 2003 following phone call from board of ISS Commander of Expedition-7 Yuri Malenchenko sends e-mail with attached photo.
This picture made a distance between Earth and orbit shorter.And it was a pleasant surprise I will always remember. And never had such for 40 years.Attached to Music Book (over keyboard piano-organ) page with typed `Happy 40 years birthday Alex!!!` and specially funny picture of Ed and Yuri next to piano make me a good smile.
During free minutes of short brakes from work crew do have fun and it is pleasure to see them smiling.I am sharing this great picture with admirers of Cosmonautics, Space enthusiasts.
It is several months ahead for Yuri and Ed to work on orbit and we wish them well too.
We`re witnessing amazing times-One American and One Russian(Ukranian) on board only.Friends on Earth , Partners and Co-workers on orbit flown and will return on Soyuz TMA
By end of mission can ask Yuri for personalized picture from orbit.Private and 1-2 approximately.You can check with me on that.
