Meeting An Astronaut

Do you remember the astronaut that stayed on the Russian Spacestation for 5 months. Here's a clip from Amazon about him:

Dr. Jerry Linenger's 132 days aboard the decaying Russian space station Mir were beset by power outages that left the crew in total darkness and tumbling out of control, poisonous chemical leaks, and near collisions with space debris. Most terrifying of all was a raging fire that, in a matter of minutes, nearly destroyed the station and all on board.

It was an inspiring speech. I may go out and buy his book. I will certainly be better about keeping a journal of my thoughts for the girls.

I recognise Aaron but not the astronaut. Who?
