Those of you who attended IAC 2008 in Glasgow last week and had the pleasure of meeting Korean cosmonaut, Soyeon Yi, may be interested to know that she is back in Baikonur to witness tomorrow's launch.
She spent last weekend following IAC in the Isle of Man, and I had the pleasure of entertaining her to dinner, at my home on Sunday.
If anyone has any questions about Soyeon, please feel free to PM me.
Those of you who sent me items for signature, or who asked me to get patches etc, should be receiving them in the mail, any day.
