Here is a message by simpsonrc1 on the Raging Bull board. I took the liberty of reposting it here so I could reply to it. The RB boards are totally screwed up and after 12 tries could still not post a reply. The message that follows this one is my reply. ~ John ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Parazynski has been an astronaut since 1992 and has logged over 262 hours in space. He first flew in 1994 on the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS-3) mission, which was part of an on-going program to determine the Earth's energy balance and atmospheric change over an 11-year solar cycle. During this mission, he and his crewmates also evaluated the Interlimb Resistance Device, a free-floating exercise he developed to prevent musculoskeletal atrophy in microgravity
