I saw you fly over and I was in awe.  I knew you would come down one day, but we hated to see it all the same.  I watched in wonder that night it came down. I tracked it on the Internet and watched the news reports. This is a great photo above. It had a tough history. Mir even put on a great show to the end. The new chapter is the ISS... man's full potential will expand as the station grows.
