Mike Fincke on Feb 20th did a tour of the ISS for the STS 119 crew. He showed a few views out the windows and said that one window on the ISS can only be opened for two hours a day, and some windows can not be opened at all by anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13156253.post-91782242379585358512009-02-25T12:27:00.000-05:002009-02-25T12:27:00.000-05:00Hi Damaris.

For a n...Everyone, you can also vote once each day! <BR/><BR/>For a name, how about something realistic and practical such as soldering experiments, smoke experiments, fluid experiments, etc ! The ISS is one of our first large space vehicles so why not name it something appropriate such as "101: Basic Laws About Space Life". Now, all I need is to come up with an acronym. We are on a new frontier, and we should say that to the future people of this planet. I feel that a name like these would be a good because people will look back from the distant future and say that was the level we were at in 2010. They would not look back and say they had their heads in the clouds. If we named Node 3 Enterprise people could lose their goal-mindedness and their iconic idealism. Who would want to build another Enterprise in the future like the old one from the tv show. Sure Enterprise I, II, II, etc sounds nice, but is it the best choice. It's too close to a television show plot and not the real world. The name should be something people look back on us and say they really started the hole space thing. Well, my vote goes for "Earth Rise" because it's the most realistic and has a chance of winning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13156253.post-68853205265450641672009-02-25T01:21:00.000-05:002009-02-25T01:21:00.000-05:00How about Discovery?

I was reading Stephen Baxter's Voyage yesterday and I thought it was really neat that he named the modules of the (alternate history) Ares mission after the real world Shuttles, so why not do something similar with the last American components of the ISS? Too bad that Atlantis isn't so explicit with the "spirit of exploration" thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
