Masters 09 Class Graduation – 49 M.Sc granted
Finally, an M.Sc in Space Management – yehhaww!
Master!
A huge accomplishment for all 49 graduates of the 2009 M.Sc ISU program. For me, this is indeed a time I have waited for many years, having first heard about ISU in 1999 from my junior high teacher. 10 years later, with the guidance of many including Chris Hadfield and Eric Choi, my adventure took my to the far reaches of the world – physically and emotionally – connecting with people all over the world working towards the same objective – space and space for the people. Thank you to all those who have supported me throughout my experience – its been my pleasure to have shared this experience here with you via Terra++.
Farewell, ISU!

A HUGE thank you to all of you readers who have followed my ISU journey over 15 months ago – I’ve received comments from all over the world, young and old, and with 5000 hits strong, I assure you this is only the beginning.
As for whats next for Terra++? You tell me! Suggestions are welcome, and your feedback most appreciate for this, my first blogging experience.
A good old cheers, and Howdy, as I land back in to Calgary.
