By the time anyone finds this bug, it will have traveled around the earth a great many times!

Please take this bug to the NASA NEEMO Undersea Lab. Once it has been there, it needs to return home to me in Texas.

    From Verizon/Yahoo! News:

    "The 12 crew members aboard space shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station will hold a news conference starting at 9:48 a.m. CST on Friday, March 4. "

    "NASA Television will provide live coverage of the 40-minute news conference"

    I hope one of those reporters has the druthers to ask...

    Hello Sniper_Kotaro,

    It is an interesting point you mention here. I do however not agree with you.
    Originally Richard placed this travel bug in the ISS because he believes in the progress of technology which will, in time, enable future geocachers to visit the ISS. In the further future even Mars or...

    The same technology enables us now to find such travel bugs. Why not use it and discover what you've found?

    Also I don't think it is unworthy to this very special travel bug to discover it. In the contrary, I just believe it is respectful to do so. Making use of the technology of today.

    Kind regards,
    Gino Talamini

    Maybe it's just me, but isn't is a bit pointless to discover it if you haven't ACCTUALLY discovered it? :(
    I think it destroys the fun and sense of this TB.

    It was Twitter that made me aware of the existence of this travel bug. Quite a bit of digital digging revealed it's number.
    Awesome! :-)
    How long before we find one on Mars?

    I have heard that this bug is comming home from the station on the shuttle, where will it go after that? The Air and Space Museum?

    "Found" after reading about it on the internet. So very cool that a TB is located in space. My ultimate geocaching dream! Although it is understandable that the owner wishes it to return to him, it would be cool if it would be allowed to travel the earth "like other bugs do" for a while, so it can enjoy the planet for a change. I can imagine many cachers would like to move it along...

    I'd have grabbed it, and made it visit a few "terrestrial" caches then return it, but I thought I might not get another chance to return to the station again, so I'll be happy to have discovered it !

    Happy Travels, little bug !

    Don't think I'll get close to a strong enough telescope to see it better, but enjoyed watching the ISS travel overhead tonight in Casa Grande, AZ, knowing the TB was on it. 😎

    Watched the ISS pass in front of the Big Dipper asterism tonight. As close as I will get to that TB for a while.
