To the gallant crew of Discovery; Although you are away
from your families at this special time of year, take comfort
in the fact that you are laying the groundwork for a new
millenium in which science, not fear or greed, shall be
the guiding force in our lives. Thanks to the example of
your courage and sacrifice, I believe that the stars which
we can now only see through Hubble shall one day be the
home of a space-faring humanity. Best wishes for a Christmas
among the stars, and a safe return to Earth. |

Hi up there! I bet you guys have got one of the best views
of the world on Christmas morning. I guess its pretty awesome!
I hope that what you are experiencing today, out there,
with such glorious views, of our home and of the stars,
may be experienced by all of Mankind. You and the team that
supports you on your mission are the pioneers that will
bring this about. I wish you the very best in your missions,
for only through your successes will Mankind finally learn
humility and know true peace. Its Christmas, and maybe for
this one day the world should be as it seems from space.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year. You are one of a few
people who got a chance to go out side our atmosphere. YOu
got a chance to see the outside world. Above all you will
understand how complex and integrated and live in a proper
manner. Some of the stars are very very far to reach. When
I think all this I praise the LORD Jesus Chirst who did
all this in His words. Above all the universe are created
by His words, but we human being are made by His hands and
looks like Him. In the event of His birthday (Dec. 25, you
will understand how great our LORD is. The amaizing thing
is He so loved the world and gave is only son to die for
our sin. That is why Jesus came to this world and died for
our sin on the cross. Do you belive in Jesus? Are you born
again? Do not for get He will come back. It took for you
days and spent millions dollars to reach not far distance.
But when the LORD come back from a very far light years
distance He will reacht to us in Second. Especally He is
very close when we kneel down and prey. How great is LORD.
Give him praise. Jesus Loves you Merry Chistmas Semegne

My friends, I'm sure it has been a great year for all
of us - and we have every reason to be thankful for all
of the learning experience we have had - good or bad. I
am a Malaysian. It's really a great opportunity for me to
see what you guys are doing through the internet - as for
most of us, the less fortunate ones, are unable to share
the excitement and challenges you guys have been through.
My only wish is that one day, my people here would be able
to catch a glimpse of you guys in action and get a taste
of what the wonder of nature and technology have to offer.
Merry Christmas to each and every one of you. God Bless
you and your loved ones as well. Take care. Joyce |

Merry Christmas, Take a moment and think about this.
God gives us the power to change the things we can. God
also gives us the power to accept the things we cannot change.
If all people would take a moment and think about that do
you think everyone on Earth could see it the way you see
it now? Peace on Earth,Good Will to Men. MDL Pleasant Garden,N.C.

Merry Christmas and Godspeed, Discovery. It's easy to
think of shuttle missions as being almost routine, but watching
your work on the Hubble Telescope via NASA Television helps
those of us still earthbound maintain our sense of how special
and important your work is. Thanks for the amazing job you
do to help us understand our universe a little bit better.

Crewmembers of ST-103: I am aouthorized to send to you
a special greeting and Christmas wish to you from the embodiment
of the Special Security Division. The SSD is a Star Trek
Fan organization and we follow the paths of NASA and other
space agencies. I am the Director of this organization and
the entire membership of this organization sends to you
the Merriest Of Holiday Wishes. The following poem about
this Christmas appears in our latest Fanzine and I'd like
to share it with you. CHRISTMAS SOLITUDE Charles P. Teator
The hour is early at dark four-thirty, quiet, empty, solitary,
almost lonely, a sanctified peace touches the soul of life,
as Christmas Eve, Becomes Christmas Morn. I look to the
window, to a peaceful falling snow, covering the Earth in
a blanket of white, to warm the heart and soul, granted
by the Spiritual Oneness, for whom this day is for. Through
the sleeplessness of this night, beyond this meditation,
the Spitit of Christmas, bequeaths an everlasting love,
given to all and one, the shared elemental Truth for the
Sanctified Peace throughout the land. Through the frosted
pane, to the gentle floating snowflakes, highlighted by
the streetlamps, the Spirit of the Day awakens, with Glorious
Sanctified Truth. Merry Christmas Merry Christmas ST-103
from the membership of the Special Security Division, guardians
of the future. Charles P. Teator, Director, Special Security

Thanks for the great Christmas present of watching you
retool the hubble on the Nasa channel and keeping up with
your schedule on Web TV. It is exciting to see what you
are doing. You make it look so easy! You are brave to commit
yourselves to this kind of work. Have a great Holiday. Thanks

to be a part of what you are doing. The Nasa channel is
great! Mrs. Sue Fodor, Lakeland FL |

Take a few minutes to gaze out the window and ask yourself
was this all done by random chanch or is there a "higher"
power at work in the cosmos. Is there someone looking down
upon you as you gaze down upon us? There was a song sung
back in the late sixty's when spaceflight was relatively
new by Barry McGuire called the "Eve of Distruction". The
line reads "you may leave here for four days in space but
when you return its the same old place". The times have
changed but the "place" has not. There is still the "bad"
things that still happen here on earth but maybe for just
a few seconds while you're streaking along at seventeen
thousand miles an hour there may be true "peace" on earth.
Cast your shadow of peace upon us o Discovery and may God
cast his shadow of peace upon us all and bring us peace
and joy this Christmas season now and forevermore. |
| 12/23/1999 |
Merry Christmas in Space, From earth to space have a very
special Christmas. I know your families and Santa will save
all your presents for your return to earth. Please wave
out the window Christmas morning and i'll be looking and
wave back. Merry Christmas, Evan, Theresa and Jack Zaruba

Merry Christmas and Happy New Millenium and thanks for
your hard work. Do you suppose there will ever be a need
for psychologists in space? Are there any unique psychological
disorders caused by being in space? Orbitting the Earth
...talk about separation anxiety... |

Best of luck on the success of your very important mission!
Each day that the Hubble Deep Space Telescope sends pictures
of our great Universe back to Earth, everyone receives a
gift of knowing that the place in which we live is only
a small part of our neighbourhood. Great work and, most
importantly, thank you for sacrificing your holidays so
that we can learn a little more about the beauty of the
space around our humble little planet. Merry Christmas!
Tracy Hartshorne, Prince George, BC, CANADA. |

Merry Christmas, Discovery! How fitting you launched with
3 "Silver Bells" ringing you into the heavens for this special
mission. Your work gives us all something a little extra
to be grateful for this Holiday Season. I worked the Hubble's
initial launch and her first sevicing mission and my heart
and thoughts are with you all on this flight. Good luck
and Best Wishes!!! Terri Stowe (League City, TX) |

Greetings: I would like to wish all of you and your families
happy holidays, since you will not be down here celebrating
them. I must say, however, I would be glad to sacrifice
one family get-together to be in your space-suits. Ever
since I witnessed the tradgedy of the Challenger mission
when I was no more than three, I have been captivated by
the exploration space. I could think of no better excuse
to miss the Christmas trees, presents and endless lines
for Santa Claus in the local malls. I hope you get that
monster of a mechanical eye working so we can catch more
glimpses of the universe and its innerworkings. Perhaps,
as space travel becomes more frequent and commericalized,
I will be able to experience what you and the rest of the
NASA astronauts have been experiencing for the last thirty-five
or so years. And why not throw an AMD Athlon or P3 Coppermine
in that beast? I know, testing, besides the 486 was probably
one of the most stable procesors created. Good luck, and
have a safe trip home. Brandon Rigsby and CompUSA Store

Dear Shuttle Crew, Santa Clause was wondering if he could
borrow several of your space suits (he will have to adapt
10 of them to accommodate the reindeer ,including Rudolph).
He has many presents and wishes of good cheer for you, the
brave astronauts -- undaunted explorers -- who are launching
our civilization into the next millennium. We salute you.
The nay-sayers and the naive will fade away, but your endeavors
will never be forgotten. Santa indicated that if you would
look out your window into the starlight, you will enjoy
the thoughts and spirits of those great thinkers and explorers
who led the way ... Isaac, Johannes, Albert, Galileo, Aristotle,
Bart, Immanuel, and friends ... and experience the exhileration
of discovery. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy
Millennium. Thank you for the gifts you are giving to our
children and to our species. |
| 12/23/1999 |
Just a note from a first time visitor from Canada. good
luck on the rest of your mission and all of the best of
the holiday season. May 2000 be filled with memories like
those you are making right now. |

Nothing serious, just thought (every time I do that it
gives me headaches and gets me in trouble) I'd give a bright
and cheery "Bah Hubble!" Remember the immortal (or were
they immoral) words of the P-3 flight crew who put down
at the international airport with their gear up. "Oh [UNPRINTABLE]!
When someone finally decides they really want to find life
on Mars, design a space suit for my cat. I'll have to go
along to make certain she doesn't eat it before you can
say "Take me to your leader!" Take care & happy landing

HI GUYS, Just thought to drop you a line and wish ya Merry
Christmas. It's kinda hard being away from the family during
the holidays, but just think, somewhere down the road, you'll
be able to look back and say, hay in 99" I was watching
the most spectacular Christmas card ever made! Come home
safe, you are remembered R.E.Robb |

Hi Guys! Dec 23, 1999 What better way to spend the Holidays
than "working" a shift in orbit. The spectacular assignment
of getting a priceless Hubble telescope back in fully operational
condition is one I envey back down here on Terra Firma.
The last inspiring Christmas I vividly remember is one a
long time ago, in a Galaxy far far away (ooops, sorry),
on a quiet eve when an Apollo crew circled the MOON, beamed
back live images of the moon's surface (so near you could
almost reach out and touch the craters), and read from a
moving passage of literature. The video of your work in
space (for at least a full 8-hour "day") is again riveting.
Thank you for supporting our Merry Christmas down here on
this special planet. I wish you guys the BEST Christmas
ever until you return and can celebrate again on the ground.
Well done. My imagination is once again recharged! Bob Lasch,
Shuttle missions fan! |
| 12/23/1999 |
I was present to watch STS-71 launch in July, 1995. THat
was the most amazing thing that I have ever seen. I cannot
imagine what it is like to be a passenger, much less the
commander or pilot when they "go for throttle up". I hope
that you have a great holiday season, even if it is in space.

Do you feel the space Shuttle has a future or will we
develop a new space shuttle that is more efficient and cost
effective? brian foubert |
| 12/23/1999 |
Happy Holidays to you all. I really admire your dedication
to work. I mean, you gave up Xmas with your families to
go to work. My dream is to be an astronaut, and you make
excellent role models for me. Enjoy your time up there.

and I am so proud of the American space program. I will
be visiting NASA's website often to keep updated on your
journeys. God Bless you and your families during the holidays.
I have followed the space program closely for all my 46
years and am so thrilled at the thought that you may read
this message. It would make my life dream just to know you
even read this...as this will be as close to space as I
will ever get. See you in my dreams.....A message back would
make my life complete. |

To Our Gallant Astronauts: Your work, as well as those
who support you on the ground is extremely important to
his country and the world. In the past all our major advances
in technology and medicine have been made as a result of
wars our country has fought with others resulting in terrific
costs in lives, property and funding. Now we have NASA and
the Space Program, which is costly, but not in lives and
property to the extent that our advances cost us in the
past. Know that you are adding to our knowledge of our environment,
our earth and our place in the universe. God Speed and a
Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous
New Year 2000. God Bless You All. Royal & Marilyn Taylor

Dear Discovery Crew: Just a word to say how much I, for
one, appreciate the sacrifice you're currently making. I
saw, on Discovery News, how hard you've trained for this
mission and the importance of this delicate operation. Having
the whole world hold its breathe and watch over your shoulder
has to really make a very difficult job all the more difficult.
Merry Christmas, God speed in your endeavor and safe return!!

To the crew of STS-103. On Christmas Day, we celebrate
Jesus's birth. Just think that on Christmas all of you will
be the closest people to God this holiday season. I guess
no white Christmas for any of you? :-) But then again all
of you get to celebrate the holidays in a place where only
a select few people have been before.(Compared to Earth's
population) Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy
New Year/Millenium. Enjoy being close to the heavens while
it lasts. Dave |

you have a huge family of love a couple hundred miles deep

I have always had a love of anything to do with space
so the work that you are performing on the Hubble telescope
I think is vital and that to people like me the pictures
it takes are amazing. So for you to work on this over christmas
is a testament to your dedication for your own love of space
and our's.I hope that all go's well and perfect for you
and that you know we are thinking of you now and until you
arrive home. This message I hope will reach you as I have
never done something like this before but I feel as if you
deserve a message no matter how simple and badly written
it might be but the sentement of pride to not just the Brit
on board but everyone there. Best of Wishes and Merry Xmas

Dear friends, The snow is falling on the cold ground in
Chicago and our presents are wrapped under the tree. Our
best gift that any one of us will find this Christmas is
not under the tree of sparkling lights, but watching the
brilliant stars. The Hubble telescope doesn't service a
group of researchers, it brings light to the future. Thank
you and God bless. Love, the Kelly Family |

Dear Mr Foale, M. Nicollier, Mr Kelly, Cdr Brown, M. Clervoy,

your families for the holidays (I suppose they haven't been
fully trained yet), but there is a houseful of Brits and
Americans watching you in awe from New York, if that's any
conosolation. You've made our holidays incredible, and my
personal drive to become an astronaut even stronger. Merry

I'm sure you would like to be with your families during
the holiday season. I just want to say, the sacrifice you

americans no matter where they are in the world. As Lee

Dear people high up over there (and also here on Earth)...
thank you for your work! We can't imagine a better way of
passing the holidays... except for the fact that you are
separated from your families. But you are not alone, so
many people are with you, right now. The warmest greetings
and the deepest thanks to you all, leave this home in the
Alps and reach you in orbit (or maybe already on the ground).
And, by the way, have a smooth slide (as we say here...)
in the new year!!!! Ciao, Mirko & Barbara |

hard work you put in. I know you all work long hours and
struggle with a decreasing budget. I just wanted to let
you know that each and everyone of you is important and

Maybe it will let people know just how unique and potentially
fragile our world is. Happy Holidays and look out for that

hello my name is Liam Fullam and I was wondering how long
does it take to become an astronaut and where you have to
go to school? I also wanted to know if you knew anything
about tha S.E.T.I. institute. The last thing I was wondering
was if you knew anything about getting a job in the Huston
NASA center because my class went to a space thing where
we got to pretend like we were huston people doing read
outs and everything. Thanks for your time and Seasons Greetings.
Please responde via e-amil to Kingcobra3590530@aol.com Thank

about the first servicing mission, and I intend to write
one about this one. If any of you guys are in the neighborhood
in a couple of months, drop by, but not from orbit PLEASE!
I depend on the marvelous pictures generated by Hubble to
illustrate my shows. THANK YOU for fixing it for me; you've
given me the best present I could have! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Seasons Greetings!! Fellow earthlings. I have just seen
a news-story about the 3 wise men meeting in jerusalem,
King Harrod being close to death, a new king to be born
by a virgin teenage girl called Mary in probably bethlehem
(not sure of location) and to cap it all a bright star appearing
over jerusalem. Rather spooky wouldn't you say? My question
is can you shed any light on this matter? (excuse the pun)
Did NASA have no knowledge of the appearance of such a star?
Thank you for taking the time to read this I eagerly await
your reply Yasir Manzoor |

you're away up in the heavens during Christmas. I hope everything
is going great up there. My friends and I are thinking about
all of you while we're stargazing down here. Well, to make
this short, we wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a
great holiday season. There's nowhere I'd rather be than
in space for Christmas, I would totally love it! Anyway,
have a safe trip home! :) Take care, Nina Rupp Bellingham,

Hi! To all. I worked the SKYLAB 1 & 2, Apollo/Soyus, and
many of the Apollo Missions. I was with RCA, at a tracking
station, that provided a Satilite link for the recoveries.
I may me one of the few, that grew, to where you are today.
But I remember the total task that we all had. It takes
a team to what you are doing. I salute you and the team
that you have. From a caring member, of one of the old teams.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS and come on back, We need you for our future.
Tom. |

To the crew of STS-103, I wish you all the best for a
safe and productive mission and a very happy, if different,
holiday!! The mission to repair the Hubble is so important,
and I want to thank-you all for all your hard work and dedication
to maintaining this wonderful and amazing invention. The
images from the Hubble, as well as providing valuable new
information, also help to further the great sense of wonder
that the universe provides us. My own interest in space
and cosmology has been very much heightened by the fascinating
pictures and their stories from the space telescope. Many
thanks and happy holidays, -Rich Thomas |

Dear Astronauts - Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
Thank you for spending Christmas in orbit. We know you will
miss your families but we think you are doing a great job

by seeing the pictures from it. We are really looking forward
to seeing pictures from it for a long time to come. Yours
truly, Sam and Will Parmenter, ages 10 and 7 years old |

Merry X-mas to you all and have a safe trip home! My daughter,
son and myself are currently watching you here on the NASA
channel (GE-2 T9) C-Band!! I have just installed a new computer
system here in the living room, so we can monitor things
VIA the Internet as well as on NASA TV all on our 50" big
screen! You have just recently completed your 60th orbit
and are finishing up some work on Hubble. We enjoy watching
these space walks as this is the only time we here on Earth
are able to see other things besides the Earth, the crew,
etc.. We would like to know why NASA does not show us here
on Earth pictures of the Moon, Planets, stars, etc.. when
you are up in space. Once again Merry X-mas and have a happy
new year! The Matthew Bowers family - Rockford, Illinois

To The Crew Of STS-103 (Discovery) Congradulations on
the successful work to restore the world's premier astronomical
research tool, the Hubble Space Telescope! I'm sure that
the late Edwin Hubble has been looking down upon each and
every one of you, and the others before you who have maintained
this important tool of science and discovery, to help mankind
better understand our place in the vast universe. As you
look down upon Earth on Christmas Day 1999, remember our
world is a fragile place in which we live. As you orbit
each ninety minutes, you pass many borders, many nations
and countless billions of the human race. May your mission
be a symbol for peace, love and universal understanding
among all peoples of the world, for it is you, and others
to follow that will lead humankind towards the stars! |
| 12/23/1999 |
Dear Crew of the STS-103, We have been trying to see you
go up since October. We went to Florida for the 12-6-99
lift-off date. My grampy, Ken Budden, whom you all have
worked with on this project has spoke highly of you and
wanted us to see you all go up. We appreciate all that you
do for our country. I know it must be hard to be away from
your family for christmas. So, "I wish you a merry christmas,
I wish you a merry christmas, I wish you all a merry christmas,
& A Happy New Year." Your Space Friends, Amber (4) future
engineer Patrick(1) future astronaut Heather & Brian Sarno

To:Curtis Brown Holiday Greetings From North Carolina
Curtis, I saw the shuttle status page and it showed you
going 16,500 mile per hour. If that isn't fast enough to
get you qualified in any NASCAR race, I don't know what
is. I was raised in Harnett county, not too far up the road
from Elizabethtown. I have heard NASA refer to the shuttle
as the equivalent of a pickup truck. Good thing they got
a good old boy to drive it. Can we get a John Boy and Billy
"A-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah"? Make sure that everyone gets their
beer cans out of the payload bay before you land, those
NASA security are tough. Have a Merry Christmas and keep
them straight up there. JT |
| 12/23/1999 |
Sorry that you can't be with your families for The Holiday.
Good luck with your pending mission. I hop that it goes
well. I enjoy the pictures that Hubble puts out. |

I would just like to congradulate you all on a job well
done. The Hubble will now be able to see faster!!! Well
Done! And the best wishes. Merry Christmas and Happy New

Merry Christmas from Dallas, Texas-- Being the last mission

Dear Shuttle Astronauts, Have a Super Merry Christmas!!
My name is Grant Weil and I'm in the 2nd grade at McCarty
Grade School in Aurora, Illinois. Our mascot, "Midnight",
which is a mustang bean bag toy, is onboard with you!! He
was packed up and shipped to NASA over the summer to go
up on your mission. I know all of you and Midnight will
have a Christmas to remember! Good luck on the rest of your
mission. We're all watching the reports down here on earth.
It would be neat if you could come to our school when you
get back. Grant Weil |

This message is to all the crewmembers of the STS-103
mission and especially to Claude Nicollier as I am swiss
as well :) I'm a student and very interested in space science,
I have been following the whole mission over the internet

don't get NasaTV here. You guys are all doing a great job
up there, and I wish you all the best for the proceeding
of the mission and merry christmas :) I'd love to be up
there as well, farewell, Kyle from Switzerland PS: If anyone
of you has the time to mail me back, which I would love,
then please do it :) |

To see the Earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful
in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves
as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright
loveliness in the eternal cold-brothers who know now they
are truly brothers...Merry Chrismas from earth |

Dear Crew: Girlhood dreams of being an astronaut went
unfulfilled, but should this message reach you up there
in the heavens, then I will have gotten half way! :) May
the quiet of the cosmos give you peace and serenity at this
holiday time. Blessed tidings to you all. From, Ali in Chicago.

The pictures that the Hubble Space Telescope can get impress
everybody , whether he is a fan of space exploration or
not , just as the Apollo 8 mission did exactly 31 years
ago. So I hope that you can make it work for many more years
, because it is one of the best representatives of space
exploration. Good luck , Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Thanks for fixing the telescope! I watch you guys every
night on NASA cable TV here in Seattle and it would drive
my wife nuts(in a good sort of way) if you could email her/us
a holiday email from the space shuttle. Happy holidays from
us down here on earth! Jesse & Beth Blumenfeld |

Dear Astronaut Heroes: The work you are accomplishing
is awe inspiring and very dangerous. The pictures created
by the Hubble telescope in the past have been remarkable
beyond words. Your work on the Hubble will make it possible
for more of those pictures beyond words. God bless you,
and God speed. Be careful, Concerned earthling. |
| 12/23/1999 |
Just wanted to wish the crew a very merry christmas and
let you know that my thoughts are with you as you spend
christmas in space. I can't help but think that in a way
it's appropriate that as we draw closer to the year 2000
and the beginning of a new era, your mission is taking place.
It seems clear to me that the greatest advancements of humankind
to take place in the next century will be directly linked
to our exploration of space. So thank you for your efforts
and once again have a merry christmas. |

Have any of the astronuts worked with mission specialist
Joe Tanner on the previous Hubble space repair? The objective
appears to be similar (repair/maintenance), is there other
aspects that make this mission more unique (ie. any firsts?,
never been tried before activities,etc.)? Russ Meyer friend

Really wish I could see the view from space as you are
orbiting earth. Hope that the creator is smiling on you
and your crew members as you will be missing the holidays
with your families but I am sure that your wives are very
understanding and patient women waiting for your return.
Although my children are young, I tell them to be proud
of the brave souls who work at NASA, especially those of
you brave enough to leave the planet. I am very proud as
an American to know] that the Space Programs continue and
hope that our next President will find it in their heart
to stop spending so much on our multi-billion dollar effort
for military spending and contribute a much higher portion
of our tax dollars on increasing and expanding our efforts
through NASA. Again, my heart is with you and your families
during this final holiday season of the millenium and I
wish you all a safe return to earth and your families. Many
blessings to you and your crew! |

you return to share the wonder and glory of the universe.
Have a wonderful holiday season. Paul Bohn |

To the Crew of "Discovery" Having followed your progress
via the net, you should be congratulated on the fine performance
against all odds. *** WELL DONE !!! *** Working in space
is not easy at the best of times, especially as this is
an environment that man was not designed for. Consider yourselves
honoured that you are able to venture into God's great arena
that we call space, and that you are able to return again
to the stage that we call earth to tell about the wonders
of what you have seen in that time. Even though you are
far from family and friends at this time, I take the opportunity
to wish you a Merry Christmas up there in space, a Safe
Landing & a Happy New Year on your return. Best Wishes and
Regards from SYDNEY - AUSTRALIA .... The Iron Paw |

From a kid who was 10 when Neil and Buzz walked on the
moon, THIS is the kind of "working in space" America was
building toward even then. What scientists learn from missions
such as yours will return us to the moon and then to Mars
and beyond. Good job, Discovery! And they owe you time-and-a-half
for working on a holiday. (Me, I'd hold out for 20-cents
a mile!) Charles Compton, Charlotte, NC P.S. On Christmas
Eve, could you mention Borman, Lovell and Anders, who were
so far away from home 31 years ago that night? |

Currently I am visiting my folks in West Palm Beach, and

sky of the shuttle. May you all have a productive trip on
your mission and a safe return. John Roman - roman@ti.com

STS-103 Crewmembers: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I hope this message
finds all well in space. While we spend Christmas at home
with our families, we appreciate your efforts on behalf
of the United States and the ESA. Unfortunatly, we missed
your launch by one day (stayed as long as we could before
having to return to DFW), but have been following it closely.
My nephew has really enjoyed the experience of learning
about the shuttle program and the Apollo missions. He now
wants to go to the Air Force Academy, pilot training, and
flight test training so that he can one day apply to the
astronaut program. Your work not only accomplishes many
great things, but almost more importantly, inspires youth
to dream and accomplish more lofty goals. Again, MERRY CHRISTMAS
and thank you for everything. Chris Broom FAA Liaison American
Airlines |

God bless to those who take upon the challenge of risking
life so that we may peer beyond our scope, into the void
and perhaps glimpse life across time and distance beyond
comprehension. I gaze at my hand and wonder if the cells
within realize that they are part of a greater entity, so
too I wonder our place in this universe. What strives you
make bring us closer to this answer. My personal thanks
to you for your efforts! |

Happy Holidays from the Army Reserve here in Rutland Vermnt.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time and we
say a little prayer for your families. You are blessed to
see the earth in it's full glory without the borders man
has imposed on it. Your mission enables the rest of the
world to be in space even if it's through your eyes. One
can imagine peace throughout the world by viewing our wonderful
world miles above. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of
the stars! SFC Joseph Dowling & Nancy |

Dear shuttle crew, All of us send our warmest wishing
for a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year. We realize
that all of you are away from your loved ones at this time
and want you to know that we appreciate all the work you

Greetings to you all! Thank you for undertaking a mission
during this time when most of us long to celebrate with
our families. On Christmas Day could you please say a prayer
up there for all of us down here on Earth - for Peace On
Earth - just like the angels proclaimed ages ago? How awesome
it must be to see our Earth from where you are. Never forget
it. I wish you continued success! Merry Christmas - safe
arrival home. Alison from Long Island, New York (give us
a wave) |
| 12/23/1999 |
I certainly can't imagine the rush of thoughts and feelings
which must come over you when you have a chance to relax
and contemplate exactly where you are. But I am envious
for at least one reason. Perhaps better than any place on
earth, you are in the best place to truly be quiet and to
allow God's presence to penetrate you and let you know He
is God. I pray that you are able to experience, if only
for a moment, the immeasureable peace and deep joy of this
season. I also pray that while you are gone, your families
are held safe within His arms and also know of our Savior's
peace. Thank you for valuing your duty above your desires.
And may God bless you...everyone. |
| 12/23/1999 |
I wish you a Merry Christmas even if you are far from
home. Thanks for you work, so that we will be able to see

To the crew of Discovery - Thanks for spending your Christmas
on orbit, repairing Hubble; that's what I call 'above and
beyond' the call of duty. Of course, if you'd rather be
home for the holidays, I'm sure I could hustle up a few
volunteers to fill in for you :-) Merry Christmas et Joyeux

Dear Shuttle Crew: Enjoy your "Home Away From Home" for
the holidays :-). We think you are doing a great job and
making a huge sacrifice for the benefit of all mankind.
It would seem appropriate, if you have the time, for you
to sing, hum or whistle the song "Nearer My God to Thee"
sometime on Christmas Day. Ed & Betty Haws Phoenix, AZ |

Dear Astronauts: Joyeux Noel and Merry Christmas! As always,

To the crew on Hubble servicing mission SM3A. I have been
particularly interested in this mission due to the HST being
involved. I am doing a research project on Edwin Hubble
and have been reading everything on Mr. Hubble and the HST.
As a former US Navy submariner I know what it is like to
only be away from home on Chistmas but to also not be able
to contat home on such an important day. I spent Chistmas
,92 underwater somewhere in the Med. I noticed that it brings
a crew together and makes special bond that can never be
replaced. Happy Holidays and Merry Chirstmas from Conway,
Massachusetts Quentin, Elizabeth and our new baby girl Abigail

you folks will be taking care of business. I am also part

contract. Its always been an honor and blessing to put my
small part of my work to keep all of you with safe and high

Obviously you don't know me, but hey who's worried! I
have to covey my total jealousy of where you are right now.
You are seeing something which I shall never have the chance
to see, there isn't much call for a new graduate geologist
in space! Still I hope everything has gone smoothly for
you, I'm sure it will have done, there have been no news
reports in the UK to say otherwise. I would do almost anything
to be able to have the chance to experience what you're
doing and seeing, I shall just have to imagine! I wish all
of you, all the luck in the world for your future missions!
Don't forget if there's a spare seat, I'll be more than
happy to fill it!! I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas
and an equally good New Year. Best wishes to you all. Miss

Greetings to all. If I had one wish , It would be to be
able to work outside the shuttle on the Hubble telescope
with you. The pictures of you all working out there is the
most awesome sight I will ever see in my lifetime. It is
like looking into the future. Words fail me to describe
how I feel. So proud of mankind that not even the vacume
of space can slow us down. I can not wait to see men building
with there hands the space station. I am a 53 year old carpenter,
so I know the joy of working with your hands and being able
to stand back at the end of the day and seeing what has
been done. Bless you all, you are in my thoughts.MERRY CHRISTMAS
& HAPPY NEW YEAR. jerry |

Dear Hubble repair Crew, At home sits a "Hubble 2000"
wall calendar, wrapped, that the kids will "surprise" me
(Dad) with on Christmas morning. If it wasn't for what you're
doing this holiday season I wouldn't be able to enjoy that.
Since I can remember I've been enamored with space, and
immensely curious and intrigued about what's out there.
These days most of the public attention is off the space
program, but don't lose hope, there are those of out there,
either the dreamers or the children of the sixties (or both)
that still read every news release, check out CNN for the
video tape, and who marvel in wonder at what you are doing
out there this holiday season, and every mission. You're
no less heros than the original "7", and what you've given
up your holidays for is no less a "small step", building
toward our future explorations that that other "small step".
I hope in my lifetime I'll get to see us "go" somewhere
else, not just orbit, but in the meantime, "keep on keep'in
on", and thank you. Merry Christmas. |

I just want to wish the crew a very Merry Christmas. Don't
forget that Jesus is the reason for this season. How would
you feel if everyone gave presents to each other on your
birthday, but not to you. So try to do something for Jesus

present, but so compassion to those in need we make him
very happy. I'll pray for your safe trip home. May God bless
you always. Love, Nathaniel |

I just want to say that I believe that what you all our
doing is one of the greatest things that could be done by
man. God has entrusted you with this wonderful opportunity
to experience life in a way that I can only hope to have
someday. One of the greatest desires I have is to "go up
there" and to just look at the Earth from space. It must
be an experience that can only be fully appreciated by being
there. Have a very Merry Christmas and our thoughts and
prayers are with you. Linda |

I'm happy that you are fixing the big telescope so everyone
can see the stars, black holes and stuff. I think I want
to be an astronaut when I grow up too - it's really cool!

To the men and women of SM3A: I would like to wish all
of you a very merry Christmas and a safe return home. You
have sacrificed so much to be a part of the astronaut corps.
Working towards goals that are never to be forgotten by
those at home. I am sure that you are in the minds and hearts
of your friends, families, and those whom may never meet
you. Tonight, as I look up towards the heavens, I will wave,
and, once again, wish you a very merry Christmas. Good luck,
and Godspeed. Mark Mendenhall |

I wonder what the Star of Bethlehem would have looked
like from the Hubble? I want to thank you for all that you
do in all space flights, your dedication to excellence.
Isn't it amazing that "we" are now coming to understand
even more that the heavens are so incredibly vast, because
of tools like the hubble? How wonderful to be able to see
more of GOD's creation. In the Holy Bible GOD'S word says
that 'HE' created all the stars in the heavens and calls
each one by name! What a mind boggle that is to try and
comprehend. Thank so very much in being instrumental in
opening mankinds eyes to see the bigger picture. I pray
that you will see and marvel at GOD's handyworks this Christmas
and know that the one who created all of the infinite universe
is still and has always been with you, gently knocking at
the door of your heart, asking "may I come in and live in
your universe, you are infinitely important to me". I came
as the Christ Child, so that you might come to know how
much I Love all Mankind". Merry Christmas !! |
