Welcome Home, Expedition 22!
As many of you know, TJ Creamer, Soichi Noguchi, and Oleg Kotov, the Expedition 22 crew, returned home just over a week ago, after a 5.5 month stay onboard the ISS. We’ve all had an amazing time following the training and on-board experiences that they were all gracious enough to share with us through interviews, tweets, and pictures.
Upon the return of each crew (both ISS and Shuttle), the training teams traditionally decorate the hallway of the crewmembers’ building with pictures, quotes, and other decorations, to welcome each crew back home.
Since a good majority of the Expedition 22 crew were avid Tweeters, the training team thought it would be a neat idea to gather well wishes & welcome home greetings from the crew’s followers to include on the wall.
So, here’s your chance to send a quick personalized message to @Astro_TJ, @Astro_Soichi, & Oleg Kotov. Please @reply me (@msengupta) with your thoughts. If you do not have a Twitter account, you may also leave comments on this blog…BUT, please keep them short – only the first line of your comment will be used on the wall. Deadline is Friday, 6/11, 12p CDT.
