Bob in the Cupola, Space Rocks in view…GREAT VIDEO: Dedication of the Cupola: Space Rocks and a tribute to Lacy Veach
Space Rocks hovering over Planet Earth
These photos aren't easy to take! It's hard to "drop" an object perfectly still and quickly take a photo...

Like a proud father, here’s a family photo album of the Space Rocks a.k.a. nuggets on-orbit, and as they were repackaged just before launch. The resin in which the lunar samples were embedded turned out to be more flammable than we’d like in a closed environment like the International Space Station. Thanks to a number of hard-working and wonderful people — Louis Parker, Doug Peterson, Ven Feng, Richard Guidry, Christopher Mcelroy, Rob Lazaro, Abigail Cassell, Paul Miller, Steve Huning, Shelby Lawson, Scott Wolf, Nathan Vassberg, Tony Brown and probably several I’m not even aware of — it was repackaged and manifested on the last Space Shuttle mission, STS-130. Much gratitude to the folks listed above, as well as the onboard crew, some of whom took the amazing photos in this post!

I’m glad that I did not have to carry that damn thing with me when I took the moon nuggets to Nepal!
