Kuwaiti Flag Flown into Space

This afternoon, I went to The Scientfic Center Kuwait to check and test the technical equipment for the school contact with crew of Internation Space Station (ISS) that coming up the week of 26 June, (yes! the week of the elections). In the conference room, where the telebridge contact will held, we were testing the microphone and the telephone lines. We had problems such as getting feed back and echos from the microphone, but it's alright now. Next week, they will hook up microphone to the Public Address room, so the visitors in central court can listen to the contact with astronaut live as well.

While I was in the conference room, I was walking around looking at the pictures framed on the wall and suddenly, I found this: (Kuwaiti flag along with a photo of ISS)



I tool a closer look, surprisgnly that this Kuwaiti flag has flown into space!!! Look what's written here:

If you cannot read what is written there:

"THIS FLAG WAS FLOWN IN THE OFFICIAL FLIGHT KIT ABOARD THE SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY, STS-92
THE ASTRONAUTS OF THIS MISSION PARTICIPATED IN THE FILMING OF SPACE STATION
SPACE STATION COMMUNICATES A VITAL MESSAGE OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF IT"

My favorite astronaut (after Krikalev) Bill McArthur was on Space Shuttle flight STS-92.
