Space Forum / Space Station / June 2008

Listening in the last few days, that one camera on the end of the new module
is, as far as I can hear, although more stable, not completely so, and I
heard some talk of it merely  moving due to  some resonance or oscillation
of the structure.

So the current plan is to  replace all the trundle bearings and clean up the

It seems to me that they are at a bit of a loss here so far.

There is a new CR being generated for the "let's leave an MPLM
on the station" concept, truly an exercise that will never die.

It's huge!  That'd be the best fun palace since the Skylab OWS.  Although
they can't run around the inside of it, unlike the OWS.

childish of me to even worry about it. But has that toilet on ISS been
fixed already? There would be parts onboard Discovery as last minute
cargo, have they been installed yet? Or are all crew now involved with

So far, the station has been nothing more than an average star in terms
of brightness on the sky on most passes. (unless you are lucky to see a
flare).
