Bill got an Award

After almost 3 weeks of launch campaign, the idea surfaced to congratulate the key person without which the campaign would certainly not have reached the point of achievement where we are today. Therefore, as a mark of recognition, the "dream team" offered to Bill a huge poster of a baby seal where each one expressed how good he feels the campaign has been led so far.

Just a sample of Bill's tasks: CS-2 campaign schedule and planning, lead of daily meeting, interface with the Russians, resolving technical problems, logistics, security and safety, collecting data for visas, passenger count in the bus (we only forgot Fabio once at the sputnik :-), bi daily bus (re)-scheduling, organising shifts, rescheduling flight tickets (between Baikonur and Moscow), planning socials, getting medical support, interfacing with hotel Sputnik management for lunch boxes diner, drinks laundry, distribution of PR gifts, etc...
So in one word how to make things working smoothly in an environment where every little thing may become a huge problem, and most important ... get people happy!

Bill receiving his "award", well done!


On the same evening, the chef of the Sputnik Restaurant prepared a Lebanese diner for us.



A nice opportunity to thank the very efficient and devoted team of the Restaurant:
