Another Mezuzah in Space?

Dear friends,
You may remember a number of years ago one of my mezuzahs, which honored Holocaust Survivors went into space with the first ever Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon. Sadly, that shuttle- "Columbia" did not make it safely back into earth's atmosphere and we were all devastated-- especially his family. To learn more about that launch check out: http://www.aimeegolant.com/news_mspace.html.
In a surprising and exciting turn of events, an astronaut friend of Ilan's is going into space (details about the launch are still TBA) and wanted to honor Ilan. So Ilan's wife Rona suggested he bring the "Barbed Wire Mezuzah" again.
Happily, it was approved. I along with some helpers (thanks Victoria and Cecile) created a replica of the Barbed Wire Mezuzah and have already sent it off to the 1939 Club in Los Angeles, where it will eventually make it's way to the Astronaut-- Mike Massimino and up into Space.
Tune in for more details on this!

It all sounds very exciting! Are you going to be able to meet the astronaut? What will become of the mezuzah when it is back on earth? Reading about Mike it seems that he is very smart and dedicated to what ever he does. You are lucky to be so fortunate and blessed. Good luck and god speed. -D
