"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

Homecoming Delays for Expedition 28

The Expedition 28 crew, L to R:
Satoshi Furukawa, Mike Fossum, Ron Garan,
Alexander Samokutyaev, Sergei Volkov,
and Commander Andrey Borisenko
Expedition 28, the current group of spacefarers aboard the International Space Station, may have a longer duration than anticipated.

A Russian Progress rocket recently launched on a consumable resupply mission to the Station, but failed to reach orbit and the Station. While the current spacemen are just fine, the upcoming Expedition 29 launch will be delayed.  All of this means that Ron Garan, Andrey Borisenko, and Alexander Samokutyaev could stay on the Station until late October instead of coming home next week. While no one likes to think of these sad circumstances, Ron and his crewmates decided to have a little fun with the situation. Read his post about the problem here, and watch their video below.
