Comis, thanks for sharing this great story. I'm going to read it with my 8 year old boy to show him how a little determination can, literally, take you as high as you want to get.  :tu:

I searched on this board for 'space' before posting, and was a little surprised nothing shows up; maybe I should have done a more through search for the entire forum.  :think:  Sorry if this is redundant.
