    No Dave, that's out in California where Endeavour had to land last week. The Buzz toy was on the ISS for the past several months as park of someone's Personal Preference Kit. Someone with an actual sense of humor took the picture, which makes me wonder how they ever got hired by NASA. :D

    Endeavour just got back to the Cape yesterday, we're starting to unload it and getting it ready for its next mission. Ship's in great shape; cleanest one to come home in the history of the program, according to those all-knowing mission managers. :)
