		 Despite 
		the pressing task of the preparations regarding the manoeuvre of 
		re-entering earth’s atmosphere and an agenda crowded with official 
		appointments, before Paolo Nespoli will be back on earth, the Italian 
		astronaut also found the time for a phone call to Ferrari Chairman Luca 
		di Montezemolo. In a video conference between the International Space 
		Station (ISS) and Maranello Montezemolo congratulated Nespoli for the 
		mission the astronaut is part of as well as for his contribution in 
		holding high the name of Italy: "Thank you for your mission and your 
		work. It makes me feel even more proud being Italian and I want to 
		congratulate you” - Montezemolo added - "for wearing a red jersey and 
		the Italian flag". Nespoli, before replying, turned the video camera 
		towards a corner of the space station, where a Prancing Horse could be 
		seen on an ESA control unit as a sign of esteem and friendship. “Thank 
		you Chairman, because your name and your work represent Italy and 
		contribute to giving a voice and visibility to Italian excellence, to 
		those who work with efficiency and will power,” the Italian astronaut 
		replied. After having asked about the astronaut’s physical conditions 
		Montezemolo wanted to know from engineer Nespoli about the daily routine 
		and the tasks for the team on board. At the end of the conversation the 
		Ferrari Chairman greeted the mission’s entire crew, inviting them to 
		Maranello once this mission is concluded.  |
