Orlando, FL (AP) - Sonia Lachter, at a NASA press conference today, discussed recently released information regarding her trip to Space Mountain and back 10 days ago. According to Ms. Lachter "We blasted off right before midnite, it was so awesome, we had to fight some aliens, and when we got back and got off the ship Liza was gone." NASA officials are unclear what happened to the younger Lachter. A statement from Uncle Dave, who was on the flight as well, indicated Liza was shooting aliens (see Space Academy photo) and "running around all crazy" and must have missed the ship back. "When she was in the station she at one point said 'wait I want to take this all in' then she dropped back and that was it" said Uncle Dave.
On her return from space, Sonia was awarded the Mickey Mouse medal of honor for making the trip. Her Mother, Randi Lachter, said "I am so proud of Sonia, it was a tough mission for her as it was so late and she had such a full day, but they made it just before the window of opportunity closed...I am so proud." Asked about her younger daughter Liza she said, "Liza will be fine, I am sure she is still riding around on that space ship wanting to go one more time..." Her father Eric Lachter shared that sentiment. "Liza....she will turn up....she always does...that kid loves to go fast."
