What we would dearly like to do is to get them down in Egypt near the pyramids.

If they want to put down in some part of the desert surrounded by lions, jackals and other dangerous animals, then we will do it.

They are a bit tired…but their morale is absolutely brilliant. I think probably today for the first time they actually realize they might achieve this great feat.

Hopefully, when he wakes up the headache will be gone and he will be back to his normal self and go back to thinking about the hatch again.

But of course you can’t go off to the jet stream without the hatch being fixed. We have time to look at the problem.

I can’t relax until we give them a safe landing, wherever it is. To me that’s more important than crossing the finish line.

Their spirits go up and down with the wind speeds, and right now the wind is up.
