Yesterday there is was an important ATV docking at the International Space Station (yes, in space!) that delivered supplies to astronauts that will last them the next 6 months. All went well but China Forbes sent a special greeting/song dedication to the two astronauts overseeing the docking–Paulo Nespoli (from Itlay) & Alekandr Kaleri (from Russia). Sending our best wishes to everyone on board the ISS!
