Mercury 7 Expedition - A tribute to Americas First Astronauts

I think you will also find that your latest discoveries has been added to the GMP :). Some really great stuff - including some very scary black hole submissions...

Thanks :)
I think it surprised us all how many great new discoveries have been made in the last couple of weeks.
Great times!

Thanks to CMDRs Smudge-o-Tron, Helitony, SkyYeti and Alac for these pictures
 
Seamed like an awesome expedition. Congratulations.

This expedition should be an inspiration for all the Explorers. It most certainly is one for me.


Thanks.


Fly/land safe.

Awesome, I wanted to join but had another expedition already planned that would've conflicted. Glad you guys made it out there and back, and everyone is safe. Looks like it was a great trip :)
 
I must admit, I wish I had joined you guys on that expedition. Congratulations to all participants and especially those who made it back to civilised space. I tracked your submissions to the mapping project keenly and hope to visit some of them. If your team organises another I would be happy to sign up!

Also I do intend to do a run of Flight Patches for the expedition, within the next few months.
