It has landed here in Washington, not only in the Egyptian desert . It is almost like a circle has been closed, finished." 5. VARIOUS OF EXHIBIT 6. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) BRIAN JONES: "When people use our names in the same sentence as people like John Glenn, Neil Armstrong and the Wright Brothers, we still tend to look over our shoulders to see who they are talking about. And there is a sense of disbelief which pervates still. Occasionally, for me usually when I get up in the morning, just occasionally, when I walk in to the bathroom I say to my wife, do you know I flew around the world in a balloon? Moments like that I sometimes believeit, but not very often." 7. AUDIENCE APPLAUDING 8. VARIOUS OF EXHIBIT 9. PEOPLE LOOKING 10. (SOUNDBITE) (English) PICCARD: " It's maybe the more emotional moments since we landed because the capsule also landed, not only us and it landed in the most beautiful museum in the world and when we realize our names together with the namesof the pilots of the other space craft and airplanes here, we hardly can believe that life allowed us to live this. It's a beautiful present of fate." VARIOUS LOCATIONS (FILE) (VNR - ACCESS ALL) 11. BREITLING ORBITER TAKING OFF 12. VARIOUS OF ORBITER 3 IN FLIGHT 13. LANDING IN THE EGYPTIAN DESERT 14.
