Congratulations!  You just won a free trip to the International Space Station. Dan will give your pre-flight briefing, then we’ll launch you on a SpaceX Dragon, dock with the ISS, and float on over to the Cupola for lovely views of Earth.  

If we time it right, you’ll see the vast Sahara, the Mediterranean, Himalayas, Aurora, nightlights and more.  Dan has arranged with some musicians to serenade us as we go.

With luck, we’ll even fly over New England, home of our chapter of the Explorers Club.  Finally, I’ll bring you safely back to a splash down, and award your mission patch.
