U.S. Army Spc. Caroline Truesdale, from Asheville, N.C., Lt. Col. Robert S. Kimbrough, NASA astronaut, and Spc. Christine Wilson, from Lanoka Harbor, N.J., at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Feb. 2. "They make me want to go to space too!" said Army Truesdale, after talking with the team of space travelers. "They said it only takes 8 1/2 minutes to get there - but it'd be the longest 8 1/2 minutes of my life!" Kimbrough was a crew member during the STS-126 space mission in November 2008. He performed two spacewalks during his work on the International Space Station, logging a total of 12 hours and 52 minutes in extravehicular activities. Six STS-126 crew members were visiting service members in the Middle East and Germany, to show support while sharing experiences. The two-week trip is a first for Armed Forces Entertainment.
