Space station media fizzer?

[Araich]

I was puzzled to hear that the 2 astronauts from the space station had already landed. After everything that has gone on with the shuttle loss, and doubts over the stations viablilty - I would have expected a great deal of media focus.

Was it news in the US?

I mean, they even fell faster, and got lost 200 miles from their target.

We heard it was 300 miles off target. Nadsy Russians and their "who needs wings or water to land this thing?"

On a more sculptural note: has anyone thought about being the first to design a module for the space station to provide visitors with a place to get away from the "padded cell" feel of most of the station?

Lol, that would be great! I'm thinking orange formica with chrome trim...

On a side note, has anyone registered for the WTS memorial design? You have to register by the end of May, for end June submission I think.
