I have just been informed that the eagle has landed.

Even more importantly ...

"...I got a boomerang flight the other day, it basically consists of leaving on spot and returning some time later, by air. Basically it was like 10 hours in a C-17 covering several thousand (at least 4 maybe 5000 miles). So we flew down, waved at Antarctica, and then returned. I guess the weather started get bad on the way down..."

after his second attempt and 8 million miles later, Nick ended up in Antarctica today, or yesterday, I am not sure when it is there, it could be 1983 for all i know.
