Science and Sentiment: The Latest Shuttle Mission

"Space Shuttle Lands Safely After Construction"
Space.com (March 26, 2008)

Much of the article is about the mission's "construction marathon at the International Space Station."

It also gives a brief look at the crew, including this excerpt: "Behnken, who is engaged, took his wedding ring and that of his fiancie along for Endeavour's flight. Linnehan took a photo of a young boy from New Hampshire - his home state - who died as a child, but dreamed of being an astronaut.

" 'I just thought it would be appropriate. It's kind of something we all dream about as we grow up,' Linnehan said in a televised interview late Tuesday. 'So we flew his picture and I'm going to return that to his parents when I get back.' "
