While listening to one of the commentaries on the radio tonight, I was reminded of something that I already knew but had forgotten. The ISS is dependant on the space shuttle to refuel and gain altitude. The commentator could didn't have the exact numbers in front of him, but the ISS needs to be boosted again within several months. So I hope that Rob is right. It would be a double tragedy to see the ISS burn up too. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
