• Just got back from the Cape.  The launch was just amazing.  I played hookie along with my kids.  That launch inspired my children more than any textbook.
  
  I need to take my entire class next time.

  Along the lines of 'We're taking Rassvyet into orbit. Lets Go!" Paraphrasing Yuri Gagarin...
  

  
  Apologies for asking this so late in the mission But, is this what Hock is saying in Russian at 00:54?
