Enjoy the fact that our sport has gained some well-earned publicity.

Someone finally did it !! I had an idea to try and get something up there years ago and gave up due to the cost of taking a pound of ANYTHING into space !! It certainly is cool to see someone follow through with this !!

I for one think it would be very cool to see them put a cache site up there and it would be VERY cool indeed if they could actually continue to take a bug up and bring one back from time to time !! I personally think it could and would be a GREAT PR thing for NASA, ISS and human space flight, as a kind of “common-person” interaction with the space program. Something the program sometimes lacks.

+1 guys !!! (and I would love to be the first in line to help design the ISS cache, if asked ! :) )

I’m wondering too if Mr. Barratt was able to get it.

All the naysayers and whiners, please do the rest of us a favor and go find some dark corner, start your own organization with it’s ironclad rules, and kindly leave geocaching to us who enjoy all aspects of the game and actually like to have fun. It’s people like you who kill the joy in this, yeesh.

Did Michael Barratt make the flight and grab the bug? Did he leave a different one?
