#7 For those of you who simply cannot get enough of this story, the Houston Chronicle has a PDF file of their email exchanges here.

The multiple layers of quotes makes it a little hard to read. Some might enjoy Oefelein's p7 pep talk about going back to the moon, and how he'd be happy to clean toilets for lunar astronauts (hmm, might be prescient).

On p6, Colleen Shipman describes her car troubles. I had the same one with my last car, but it sprang up a few weeks after I got it, and not because I didn't change the spark plugs once in 80,000 miles. (Hmph.)

On p1 she calls her boss a jackass. I don't know who she's talking about, of course, but I bet he does.

The Chronicle's version of the linked article has an Our-Story-So-Far list o' links.
