I thought it appropriate to add this message to my blog (received via Ham Radio channel last night)-
Mike Mercury to Merrickville Control EST 19:58 May 23
Space Shuttle Atlantis mission STS-132 is proceeding according to schedule. Docking and un-docking to and from the ISS (International Space Station) has occurred.
Simian Specialist experiments have er… not gone EXACTLY according to plan, more to follow on that. I will say that it’s a good job that Sam’s experiment involved ball bearings, especially as Ray’s and mine involved banana’s and the search for extra terrestrial life forms. Please contact Acme Fruit & Veg and tell them to halt all further experiments with the genetically modified fruit ASAP.
Mike Mercury, Simian Specialist on STS-132 signing off for now.
