Landing-9:30
Thomas here I'm getting ready to start the landing and I can't wait to get back to mission control!!!!!!!!

9:19pm
Thomas here, this will be my last journal entry on space shuttle Excelsior. We are cleaning up the shuttle now and everybody is excited to get back to mission control. For the last time, this is Excelsior, OVER AND OUT.

8: 27pm
Hi, Thomas here we're all having fun in the shuttle and we're in a bit of a rush to get the experements done. This is Excelsior, over and out.

7:18pm
Hi again. Everybody is SUPER, SUPER hyper right now and we're going to be very busy soon. I have my last excercise session soon. This is Excelsior, over and out.

6:04
Hi, Thomas here. I just hit the hyper stage. We've been finding spiders in and around the toilet.

4:55pm
Thomas here. It turns out the Nordic isn't fixed. I have to go excercise now. This is Excelsior, over and out.

4:26pm
Thomas here. Commander Michayluk, Julia and I just fixed the Nordic and it was very confusing. I'm getting kind of hyper and mission control is still being annoying. This is Excelsior, over and out

3:24pm
Hi everybody, I'm having a lot fun in the shuttle! But I have a bit of a headache so I'm going to try to sit down for a while. I just finished an experiment and I don't have much to do. This is Excelsior, over and out.

Hypothesis, I predict that the Monami Jeller Pen will work the best upside down.

2:29pm
Hi, again. It's really busy right now so I can't write much but I'm going to do an experiment soon. This is Excelsior, over and out.

1:00pm
Thomas here. I just finished eating lunch (big mac) and before that I exercised for 30 minutes. Mission control is being really annoying right now especially the medical team. This is Excelsior, over and out.

12:14pm
Hey, it's me again. I just finished exercising. I'm waiting for the 2nd experiment to finish and I'm kind of bored right now. This is Excelsior, over and out.

11:21am
Hi, Thomas here. I don't have much to do right now. Peter's done an experiment. I have to go exercise now. This is Excelsior, over and out.

Hi, I'm Thomas and I'm one of the mission specialists on space shuttle Excelsior. I am in very good shape and I work well with other people. I'm also very good at experiments and I'm good with computers. I beleive that these things will help on Excelsior. When I got picked to be an astronaut I was very excited and happy. It's hard work to prepare to be an astronaut and we had to do everything from excersising to writing a cover letter and classifications. I'm feeling very excited and nervous for the shuttle launch. I'm excited to have a lot of fun in and out of the shuttle, but I'm also nervous because I'm going to be inside a space shuttle for 12 hours and I don't want to make a mistake. I'll miss playing Thursday after school activities like street hockey, but I'm looking forward to doing experiments and having fun in the space shuttle Excelsior.
