Scott Parazynski will be heading back to Nepal in a few weeks to make another attempt to become the first astronaut to stand atop Mt. Everest. Stay tuned next week for website upgrades at the expedition's main website at OnOrbit.com/Everest. You can follow Scott's preparations on Twitter at SPOTScott and overall updates at EverestOnOrbit. Also participating will be Miles O'Brien (MilesOBrien) and Keith Cowing (KeithCowing) who plan to provide education and public outreach support onsite at Everest Base Camp during the entire month of May. Support services for our activities will be provided by the good folks at IMG (International Mountain Guides).

Once more to the top

Hey Scott, remembering what we talked about last July, I just knew you were going to try this again. Once again I wish you luck and hope you can make a good decision if a similar situation to last year arises. Plus I think you already achieved the hard part by talking Miles into going with you to basecamp (or maybe that wasn't so hard). ;)
