Hey, Space Placers!

Whether it is the sea or outer space, Navy personnel are ALWAYS aware of the possible extension of their deployment due to operational or mechanical requirements. What was to be about a week in space for them last year morphed into nine months. They met the challenge in typical Navy fashion - performing their duty as required.
They are scheduled for a March 16th departure from ISS and will return to a well deserved hero's welcome and a place in the history books of spaceflight. They will undergo extensive medical exams and debriefs plus a return to their loved ones after so long - nothing like a homecoming after returning from a deployment.
Godspeed and safe travels shipmates!
