Celestia Forums

Yuri Malenchenko on the ISS got married earlier today, in the first ever event of it's kind in orbit.

Congratulations Yuri!

Afterthought: I wonder if they have Celestia installed on the ISS? They do have net access after all...

Congratulations Yuri and Ekaterina

The full story can be read here, at CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/08/10/space.marriage.ap/index.html.

What a brilliant picture on that CNN webpage, I love the way they've stuck a bow tie on the cardboard cutout of Yuri in his astronaut gear!!!

I also like your emoticons, I'd say they're drinking a toast to the bride and groom each with a pint of Timothy Taylors Best Bitter!

It's definately not bh's ESB cos there's too much head for a flat Southern beer like his favourite pint

and it can't be Murphys either 'cos it's the wrong colour!

I thought that cardboard cutout was a pretty neat idea too. Probably the first time anyone had a cardboard stand-in at their own wedding .

Go Russia! That's two more "firsts" in the record books.
