- JulyZerg, on 02/19/2008, -8/+2Heh, I just was about to digg this!
- samness, on 02/19/2008, -4/+4I'm happy that they're reminding of the Lunar Eclipse in the summary on the page. I can't wait.
- macosta5811, on 02/19/2008, -3/+6Oh! An awesome pic!
- bobslt, on 02/19/2008, -2/+4wow beautiful photo, i really like this Zero-G photos! they are really interesting.
by the way, Happy Columbus! - tommyturbot, on 02/19/2008, -6/+2Space is a big place right - that's why he needs a map!
- rhuntington3, on 02/19/2008, -4/+2Wow, that's an awesome picture!
- ispeakasian, on 02/19/2008, -16/+2Front page with only 53 diggs while there's stuff in Upcoming with more than 150 diggs? This system is really ***** up.
- daxsymbiont, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3"top" digger?
- screwzluse, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2hhhmmm.. Could be many reasons. For instance, this received 129 diggs in 13 hours 28 minutes while the top upcoming (Honda...) received 154 diggs in 21 hours 24 min. Now, I'm not a Digg expert but to me, a story would seem more popular the faster it receives a certain amount of diggs (a story that takes twice as long as another to get the same amount of diggs would be hard to classify as "more popular")
- Rapter09, on 02/19/2008, -1/+6How about this: It's an interesting story about the advancement of humanity.
Shut up.
- soot, on 02/19/2008, -14/+2I hate space
- cambob76, on 02/19/2008, -6/+1Are they going to launch their gold raids against the space Indians from this thing? Sweet.

- MacEnvy, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1I'd totally buy one of those. Think they make them with built-in WiMAX and a beer cooler?
- Ganja420, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2Hey, I can see my house from there!
- Vagabond91, on 02/19/2008, -0/+12You'd think for $2 billion it would be a little bigger. :D
- RicktheBrick, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1At $2 billion they should have discovered something by now. At least tell us what it is trying to discover so we can have some hope that the money has not been wasted.
- InverseFlux, on 02/19/2008, -1/+3I love the NASA's pic of the day. They always manage to capture and post some really good pictures. Good call on the digg.
- MetalLizard, on 02/19/2008, -2/+6So is posting a picture from http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html going to be a daily event on digg now? You know, you could just bookmark the site, and check it out on your own each day. I'm pretty sure that's what it is for.
- Frostman3D, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1Future Tense?

- danielrh9, on 02/19/2008, -2/+3Great news! Now can we please finish this damn jalopy so that we can focus on the Moon and Mars?
- sbrown, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1think of a smart ass comment and put here
- MarshallX, on 02/19/2008, -0/+0The thing that amazes me is that every, single, little thing on that module is necessary.
The skirt on the pad in the top right is there for a reason, it's not aesthetic, it is there for some reason. I don't know what, but it is. All the little dots on the side of the module are there for a reason, who knows why, but there's a reason.
Every single thing is thought out, planned out and necessary and that blows my mind. - HutzBordello, on 02/19/2008, -3/+0So were naming space station labs after a person who killed and enslaved people? Nice...
- BingoPower, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5"Attach metal-runner AAA5, to side of capsule using Screws F9 (2) and Screws F10 (2). Use Hammer or similar to correct any misplacement"
