Summary

Description
English: On the Expedition 29 patch, the International Space Station (ISS) is shown following the path of the historic 18th century explorer, Captain James Cook, and his ship, Endeavour. During Cook's three main voyages, he explored and mapped major portions of the oceans and coastlines under the flight path of the ISS and added immeasurably to the body of knowledge of that time. As the ISS sails a stardust trail – following the spirit of Endeavour sailing toward the dark unknown and new discoveries – it enlightens Earth below. Through the centuries, the quest for new discoveries has been a significant element of the human character, inspiring us to endure hardships and separation to be part of a mission which is greater than any individual. A spokesman for the crew stated, "The crew of Expedition 29 is proud to continue the journey in this greatest of all human endeavors."
Deutsch: Auf dem Expedition-29-Emblem ist die Internationale Raumstation (ISS) zu sehen, wie sie dem Pfad des historischen Forschers im 18. Jahrhundert, Kapitän James Cook, und seinem Schiff, der Endeavour, folgt. Während der drei Hauptreisen von Cook erforschte und kartografierte er große Teile der Ozeane und Küstenlinien unterhalb der Flugbahn der ISS und fügte unermesslich viel zum Wissen dieser Zeit hinzu. So wie die ISS auf einem Pfad aus Sternenstaub segelt – dem Geist der Endeavour folgend, segelnd in Richtung des dunklen Unbekannten und zu neuen Entdeckungen – erleuchtet sie die Erde unter ihr. Durch die Jahrhunderte war das Streben nach neuen Entdeckungen ein bedeutsames Element des menschlichen Charakters, was uns darin bestärkt, die Mühsale und die Trennung zu ertragen, um Teil einer Mission zu sein, die größer ist als jedes menschliche Wesen. Ein Sprecher der Crew sagte dazu: „Die Besatzung der Expedition 29 ist stolz darauf, die Reise in diese großartigste aller menschlichen Anstrengungen fortzusetzen“.
