Star City, Russia
South Korea's first female astronaut
Yi So-Yeon, a 29-year-old nanotechnology engineer from Seoul rocketed to the ISS last week. So-Yeon is a good friend of ours on base and we have all shared the same training here at GCTC.
Upon her return on April 20th, Richard and I decided to toilet paper wrap her apartment. We just love pranks. Anyway the funny side to this was that the South Korean Prime Minister came to GCTC and apparently visited her apartment with a film crew and witnessed the carnage we left behind. Below are the photos from the toilet paper wrapping session. We clearly advertised ourselves as the culprits.
