> 
> Hi all, 
> 
>  Good afternoon from Florida…The Space X Crew 2 mission is on track for a 5:49am EDT(05:49) launch this Friday morning…I hope you will register to be a part of this mission and get your boarding pass to show you are “on board”…also with this program you can accumulate “frequent flyer miles” and continue to follow events on the ISS…I will be on KSC for the launch, escorting “foreign nationals” which will enable me to have a wonderful view…I will try to share it with you ...
> 
> we have to stay positive and always be thankful… remembering to do our best, enjoy everything we do, believe in ourselves, and let those we care about most know (I always say this, we all need to take it to heart) …hugs & smiles... :-) :-) STAY SAFE, TAKE CARE, Love ya, Gabe
