Forest Fire

I haven't been posting very often on my blog because I've been in some very dangerous situations lately and haven't had time. Last week, I was on a run and as I was heading back to my car, the forest erupted into an intense inferno. I had to make some quick decisions and do a stream crossing on the way back. Luckily, I made it back to my car safe and sound! Below is a picture of me haulin' it back to the car. I hope to post more often now that everything has settled down.

I was selected today by the NASA flight personnel committee to take part in the Discovery's STS-124 mission. It is slated to take off May 31st. We will be delivering components of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory to the International Space Station. Here's a photo of me and the crew all suited up in our gear:
