Just wanted to share that John's and my nephew in law, Jeff Herath was highly involved in some of the rocket science that went in to this mission. This link will explain how Jeff was involved in the mission. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/news/researchernews/rn_RTIMS.html
It is a joke around here that a true rocket scientist is in our family. I would like to say that knowing Jeff personally, he is one of the best all around types of guy a person will ever meet. Never in a million years would a person believe that he was capable of the brilliance that was exhibited in his part in this due to his good guy, all around get along with anyone demeanor. I personally feel that his growing up in Crozet VA where I live is why the good guy in him is so evident.
Anyway, we are quite proud of him.
