Greetings, Earthlings! Keeping the new tradition alive, ISS Science Officer Ed Lu has written his first letter from the International Space Station. I'm glad to seeing him carrying on after Peggy Whitson and Don Pettit, hopefully this will become regular practice for ISS crews (in fact, it's now been done by every one of the Station's science officers, so maybe it will become an informal duty of the job). In this first letter, Lu talks about his experience flying to ISS on board the Soyuz TMA-2, perhaps the first time the public has had access to such a description from an American astronaut. So far, it seems Lu's letters will be more like Whitson's than Pettit's, though it's too early too judge, of course. While Don's were wonderful for advancing the perception of ISS as a science facility, I think Peggy's were a little more accessible to the general public (which, in this case, includes me).
