Thought I'd get in early (with just a few hours to go here in Australia until 2008) to say Happy New Year to everyone on UMSF.
I hope that everyone will have a great time, be safe and make it back for a fantastic year in space coming up in 2008. Cheers Astro0 |

Happy New Year to you also, Astro0, and to everyone else!
 Many things to come: Messenger's first flyby, potential asteroid impact on Mars, Phoenix landing...gonna be a good year for UMSF!

I guess You all saw this ISS onboard shot already:

Good 2008 year UMSF!!!
This the first post of the year. You must know that I'm in France and we are now in 2008 . And most of people now are always in 2007. Strange moment. Very precious.Have a good year, a good health and many sort of things like that .

Ahh - good old UK....running on GMT. I like 2007 - it's nice - I've got 46 minutes of it left
For those who've already embarked upon, or who are about to embark upon 2008 - may it bring you everything you hope for (apart from a dedicated server for UMSF, because we can't afford it )Doug |

Happy New Year to everyone on UMSF, wherever you are, from me in Kendal, gateway to the South Lakes, where the drizzle is falling and drunks who only know the first line of "Auld Lang's Ayne" are watching damp fireworks putt-putting into an orange sky...
Here's to a fantastic '08, with more wonders to enjoy, both anticipated and out of the blue... we truly live in a golden age of exploration, and I'm glad every day that I share it with all of you here. Go Messenger! Go Phoenix! Go Spirit and Oppy! (right, where's that glass of wine...?!?!) -------------------- |

QUOTE (Stu @ Dec 31 2007, 04:29 PM)  where the drizzle is falling and drunks who only know the first line of "Auld Lang's Ayne" are watching damp fireworks putt-putting into an orange sky... ROTFL!  I have to remember that one. Thanks for bringing smiles to all of us all year Stu with your wonderful command of the English language. Happy New Year.My sky is orange because the sun is just now setting. We'll be joining you on the other side in about 7 more hours. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Happy 2008 to all ! Amazing how this countdown makes you realize all the better just how 'spread-out' we UMSF are. We're all over the globe and yet we'r not that big, ...and we don't have to since we are the best

And a happy 2008 from Italy as well!
I sincerely wish you a "real life 2008" as happy as the 2008 we are going to have in UMSF, with the Mercury 1 and Steins flyby, Chandrayaan launch, Phoenix landing etc... |
