I am having a blast! Very used to zero g - so many tasks are easier (but others are harder). The key I’ve found is to relax and make gentle, light movements/pushoffs. It’s all about the vector and rotation. Straight vectors with little rotation. Takes some getting used to. Also interesting how the mind can enter a room/module from 4 orientations (everything is rectangular), so a room looks totally foreign to me unless I orient myself the way I’m used to it. Also, rooms are effectively four times larger because all the spaces can be used simultaneously..

We’ve had several challenges this flight so far - overcoming them makes success all the more rewarding!

Cheers. Greg

Will you please send me some “space” stuff that I can put up on the blog, a little bit of what you are doing up there, how you’re feeling etc etc - really appreciate it.

thanks
