This has to have been around from 5-7 years ago...looks much cooler now. - Ecanem, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Wikpedia? Your citing that as a source? Good thing a bored 12 year old kid in alaska, with no connetions to nasa is a reliable source for information on the current status of the ISS.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1There was no excuse for the US, Europe, and Japan to fail to create appropriate, reliable, indigenous space transportation to the ISS. IPaying Russia for a ride is simply no longer an option. ISS should be deactivated and deorbited. The western democracies have a chance to get it right with Project Constellation.

- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -3/+2The discovery that UFOs are real and contain little green men (or Gray or Nordic) sometimes is difficult on scientific types, although it shouldn't be that way IMO. Here's 2 articles, citing mainstream newspapers and historical documentation found through the Freedom of Information Act, that show that they are real

http://science.howstuffworks.com/ufo-government5.h ... - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -2/+1This has to be an ancient picture. The large solar arrays and international modules are not installed. All I see are the Ruskie modules - a reminder of the disastrous decision to let them into the project.
- ok4you, on 09/08/2008, -2/+1wonder how much the photo cost US tax payers.

- yardie, on 09/08/2008, -2/+0The description is misleading. You can barely see Miami due to the cloud cover. Most of turquoise is out on the Bahamian side of the caribbean sea.
