Drew's Big News

[HB Chris]

Our resident astronaut and Bav and e9 owner Drew Feustel has been announced as returning to the ISS in early 2018.

Drew can be followed on Twitter and Instagram once he launches these accounts at Astro_Feustel. Everyone who has met Drew knows what a down to earth kind of guy he is and we will watch closely his return to space. These are six month missions!

Wow congrats Drew! Is an e9 calendar recognized by Nasa as an acceptable method of mission timeline tracking?

Congrats, very cool.

Wow, impressive to say the least. Is it just me, or has anyone else thought of the possible scenario whereby Drew is staring at some sort of mechanical/fuel/electrical or whatever gremlin that has infected his Coupe, and after some head scratching, some thinking, some evaluation, he starts his repair with " well, this ain't rocket science!" lol.

Awesome! Congrats!

I think we should sponsor some kind of e9 send-off down at NASA in Houston, maybe we can convince Drew to attach some kind of Roundel or 3.0 CS badge to the space station.

Very Awesome!
Wonder if they have red handle screw drivers on the ISS?

At least a SoCal Vintage sticker!

You guys have got me thinking...

 

[Ohmess]

Outstanding.

Spoke to Drew an hour ago, he is in Russia again but returns in a week. When you see him ask about his 9g centrifuge ride recently.

9gs. Barf

I don't think at 9G you can get anything up as much as your body might try. Hard enough to keep blood in your brain at that point. YMMV.

It causes you to blackout and is very painful.

"It causes you to blackout and is very painful."

Chris, that sounds like putting a headliner in an e9 with a sunroof
