82nd Surfman Award: Humber Students contact the International Space Station


Yes they can!!!! You gentlemen are an inspiration, and a real credit to your country...all 4 of you should be very proud.
Four Humber College students became the first college students in the world to build a radio antenna to talk to the International Space Station. Gino Cunti, Paul Je, Patrick Neelin, and Kevin Luong made contact with astronaut Sandra Magnus, even though they only had a 10 minute window with a Station that travels through space at 28,000 kilometers per hour. Paul Je wept with tears of joy when contact was made as I am sure many more proud Canadians did when they heard about this incredible feat, I know I did.
Later this year, the "SPACE STATION 4" will be honoured by Canada's Telecommunications Hall of Fame, for a well deserved honour. Live long and prosper gentlemen.
