Transit Day 16 – Coffee House

With all of the excitement the past few days it was time to wind down a bit. The teams continue to work on their post flight analysis and generation of post launch reports. So far the data all looks good with no issues identified. The most excitement we had today was afterhours with a Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament in the ACS Dining Hall and to everyone’s surprise an impromptu concert in the ACS bar. One thing is for certain when you bring this many cultures together there is no shortage of talent to be found. Last night Evergreen Helicopter pilot Ryan Lehman broke out his Ukulele and performed a rendition of the Eagles hit Hotel California. Later on in the evening Ryan was joined by ELUS PLU team members Mikhail Bess and Javier Vallin for an impromptu jam session. Astrium’s Jeff Roustit and Thierry Sicard then took over the guitars for a performance of their own. Purser Iryna Shylkina entertained all with her Karaoke skills.. Overall a relaxing evening.
