“Over this country, when the giant Eagle flings the shadow of his wing, the land is darkened. So compact is it that the wing covers all its extent in one pause of the flight. The sea breaks on the pale line of the shore; to the Eagle's proud glance waves run in to the foot of the hills that are like rocks planted in green water.” BookCountryRunningWaterLinesBreakSeaFeetLandRocksProudShadowGreenWingsWaveFlightHillsGiantsShorePalePausesGlancesEaglesFlingCompact Book:The Herries Chronicles Source: The Herries Chronicles
“We were trying to do as much science as we could because that was the main purpose of the international space station. But without the shuttle to bring up heavy laboratory equipment and bring back samples, we were limited by what we could do, but I was proud that we actually accomplished more science that was planned for the flight. And I got a chance to do two Russian spacewalks on that flight, I had become an expert in U.S. spacewalks and using U.S. suits and techniques, and this was a chance to put on a Russian Orlan suit and do two construction space flights outside of the space station.” TryingPurposeChanceProudFlightAccomplishedConstructionLaboratorySample Author:Leroy Chiao
