"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

An Italian, A Russian, and an American

Yesterday was a very exciting day in space! Why? Because two astronauts and one cosmonaut left the International Space Station, boarded their Soyuz, and came home to Mother Earth. Dmitry Kondratyev, Cady Coleman, and Paolo Nespoli performed a textbook landing in Kazakstan, after over five months in space. I was able to watch their landing live last night, and it was a lot of fun...except that the camera lost track of the capsule right as it landed! :P Oh well. Thankfully, the landing video that I've included with this article keeps better track of the Soyuz! Anyway, here's some nice videos chronicling Expedition 27's return voyage!

P.S.--Don't forget to come to my actual blog to view these videos.
