ISS Expedition 42 poster released
Radio amateur and astronaut
Samantha Cristoforetti IZ0UDF
has put the final touches to the official crew poster for the
International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 42. It is now available to
download.
The poster parodies the popular The Hitchhiker’s
Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and is without doubt the best ISS
crew poster yet released.
USA’s Terry Virts and Russia’s Anton Shkaplerov
portray the two-headed Zaphod Beeblebrox, Russia’s Alexander Samokutyaev
is Humma Kavula, USA’s Butch Wilmore is Arthur Dent, Russia’s Elena
Serova is Ford Prefect with Italy’s Samantha Cristoforetti as Trillian.
NASA’s Robonaut 2 guest-stars as Marvin the Paranoid Android.
Samantha should launch from Baikonur in Kazakhstan
on November 23, 2014 at 2059 UT (3:59pm EST) also flying with her in
the Soyuz will be Anton Shkaplerov and Terry Virts. She is expected to
return to Earth in May 2015.
