<div>Good morning all,</div>
<div> Yesterday went very well with the kids visiting from the schools...it is always so much fun and although they have the time of their lives I believe we, the adults, enjoy it even more. When you see a student who nature has given more challenges than most
of us can ever imagine...smiling, trying their hardest to just be given a chance to show what they can do...that is why we say differently-abled....it is a reminder to be thankful that we have healthy kids and to keep our “problems” in perspective...what I
have learned over the years of doing this is that the kids never want any favors or feel that their life is somehow “unfair”, instead they are more determined to overcome the obstacle but so often can’t get a chance to show what they can do....although differently,
they can still do more than we can ever imagine...my student was interested in videography...so I was able to get him to participate in the live news conference of the Dec 4<font size="1"><span style="font-size:7.3pt;"><sup>th</sup></span></font> launch of
the Orion Capsule....maybe some of you saw it...it was on most channels last night.... it is scheduled for Dec 4<font size="1"><span style="font-size:7.3pt;"><sup>th</sup></span></font> and is NASA’s view of future travel outside of low earth orbit, possibly
even to Mars one day....the test involves launching the Orion Capsule about 3,600 miles (5,760kilometers) into space, then testing the heat shield for reentry into earth’s atmosphere, generating temperature of 4,000F (2204C) degrees...I know there will be
many updates between now and Dec 4<font size="1"><span style="font-size:7.3pt;"><sup>th</sup></span></font>, so i will keep you posted. I wish you all a very happy day and of course weekend ahead. We have to remind ourselves of all the good in our lives, always
let those we care about most know, make each day special, live in the present, smile & have fun! gabe</div>

<div>Expedition 41 Commander Max Suraev of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), NASA Flight Engineer Reid Wiseman and Flight Engineer Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency (ESA) will undock their Soyuz spacecraft from the station at 7:30 p.m.
EST for a landing in Kazakhstan at 10:58 p.m. (9:58 a.m. Nov. 10 Kazakh time). Their return will wrap up 165 days in space since launching from Kazakhstan on May 29 and a mission that covered almost 70 million miles in orbit.</div>
<div>With their landing, Suraev will have spent 334 days in space on two flights, and Wiseman and Gerst will have logged 165 days in space on their first flights.</div>
<div>At the time of undocking, Expedition 42 will formally begin aboard the station under the command of NASA astronaut Barry Wilmore. Along with his crewmates Alexander Samokutyaev and Elena Serova of Roscosmos, Wilmore will operate the station as a three-person
crew for two weeks until the arrival of three new crew members. NASA astronaut Terry Virts, Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov and ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti are scheduled to launch from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, Nov. 23, (U.S. time).</div>
<div>NASA Television coverage includes:</div>
<div><b>Sunday, Nov. 9:<br>
</b>-- 3:45 p.m. - Farewell and hatch closure coverage. Includes replay of Nov. 8 change of command ceremony in which Suraev hands over station command to Wilmore; hatch closure at 4:10 p.m.<br>
-- 7:15 p.m. - Undocking coverage. Undocking at 7:30 p.m.<br>
-- 9:45 p.m. - Deorbit burn and landing coverage. Deorbit burn at 10:05 p.m., with landing at 10:58 p.m.</div>
<div><b>Monday, Nov. 10<br>
</b>-- 1 a.m. - Video File of hatch closure, undocking and landing activities<br>
-- Noon - Video File of landing and post-landing activities and post-landing interviews with Reid Wiseman and Alexander Gerst in Kazakhstan</div>

<div>A NASA sounding rocket experiment has detected a surprising surplus of infrared light in the dark space between galaxies, a diffuse cosmic glow as bright as all known galaxies combined. The glow is thought to be from orphaned stars flung out of galaxies.
The findings redefine what scientists think of as galaxies. Galaxies may not have a set boundary of stars, but instead stretch out to great distances, forming a vast, interconnected sea of stars.</div>

<div>Inside the Launch Abort System Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center stands the 80-foot high Orion spacecraft, being readied for its December flight test. Four recently-installed protective panels make up the Ogive, which reduces drag and acoustic load
on the crew module, making it a smoother ride for the spacecraft. The Ogive installation was one of the last pieces of the puzzle for Orion prior to its move to the launch pad on Nov. 10.<br>

<div>The homebound Expedition 40/41 trio, consisting of Soyuz Commander Max Suraev and Flight Engineers Alexander Gerst and Reid Wiseman, is counting down to its Nov. 9 departure inside the Soyuz TMA-13M spacecraft. They are packing gear to be returned home
while they continue science and maintenance on the U.S. side of the International Space Station. Expedition 41 will end Nov. 9 when it undocks inside the Soyuz TMA-13M spacecraft at 7:29 p.m. EST.</div>
