  1. I am the deepest shade of envy-green now! What a wonderful experience. A free cruise, good food, and you are the celebrity! You couldn't manufacture a better time if you could script it. Glad you have more cruises in the future. Thanks for a glimpse of your time.

  2. I recently managed to cross off seeing a rocket launch from my bucket list by seeing the Europa mission Lanch (after surviving a hurricane 'O.o)… I've been considering seeing the Nothern Lights as my next mission (hopefully less life threatening) so thanks for sharing this, very timely 🙂

  3. Fun fact for Space Cats: According to Scott Manley, the first and only nation to launch a cat into space is France. 🙂 Many years ago I lived in a house in northern Sweden which had a big skylight window from which I could watch the northern lights in winter. Of course, I could also go outside for a better view, but the temperature was often -20 or -30 C, so would not be out for long.

  4. I can see how one would come back from the cruise with excess baggage from hanging around the buffet area too often. Wow! Good food, Auroras, best conditions for stargazing and an expert astrophysics on board to boot! Space enthusiasts heaven. 🤣 Thanks Maggie for a tour of a wonderful cruise. 😊
