In Space, No One Knows You Read Vogue

Posted by chrisd on from the space-needs-women dept.

Chad Coffman writes "Salon has quite the story up. It seems Russian astronauts are trolling for supermodels as passengers for their space program." I guess Tito nor Shuttleworth were cute enough for Valery Korzun. May I suggest Courreges or Gaultier for space-suit designer? I'll leave the weight allowance jokes as an exercise for the reader.

    NASA said the other gyroscopes were working fine and that the failure would not affect the station's navigation and control. But the bad unit will need to be replaced, and the soonest that can happen is early next year.

    they have 5 gyroscopes that they consider "major components", yet it will take em till next year till they can fly one up?

    what, they dont have any backups ready to go for critical items and have to manufacture it first?

    great planning
