Several plan to attend the launch. Reilly and his family attended the
Commodore Patience Strange descendants reunion Oct. 4, 1998 at Moody High
School Commons. He inspired the audience with awe as he spoke of his trip
into space on Space Shuttle STS-89 Endeavor, (January 22-31, 1998). It was
the eighth Shuttle-Mir docking mission during which the crew transferred
more than 9,000 pounds of scientific equipment, logistical hardware and
water from Space Shuttle Endeavour to Mir. In the fifth and last exchange of
a US Astronaut, STS-89 delivered Andy Thomas to Mir and returned with David
Wolf. Mission duration was 8 days, 19 hours and 47 seconds, traveling 3.6
million miles in 138 orbits of the Earth. For more information call up web
