ISS Gyro Fixed Via Spacewalk

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the better-late-than-never dept.

Teahouse writes "After a failed attempt last week, the ISS Astronauts finally got to fix the external gyroscope circut breaker in the station. Tests are being run today, but it looks like the ISS is back to having attitude stability with redundancy. This is particularly significant with the Shuttle being grounded for an extended period because the ISS would have had to use thruster fuel to keep the Station's solar panels pointed in the right direction without the gyroscopes, and no guarantee when more fuel would be arriving."

    PLA performs hostile takeover of SPC, GNAA, others

    ALTON -- The Phone Losers of America (NYSE: XPLA) has become the sole stockholder of all shares of multiple former corporations such as the South Philly Cru (SPC) and the Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA). Stock prices for the PLA have soared over 500% since this morning, and a stock split is planned for July 5th in celebration.

    We at the PLA have developed literally hundreds of Internet phenomenon, including "OMG HAX!", "TEH BEST STUFFS!", and "WTFOMGBBQLOL!". Our victim list is longer than any group, with high-end victims such as Fox News and KCTV! So... ...if so, the Phone Losers of America is for you!

      Redboxchilipepper would weep to see his groups name brought to this. However, it was refreshing to see someone on slashdot use the phrase "loser" several times without getting it confused with "looser", something more appropriate to a wholly different slashdot trolling sensation.
