Russian Supply Ship Docks At ISS

Posted by timothy on from the nutella-duct-tape-and-string-cheese dept.

CryptoJoe writes "Space.com and CNN report a successful docking between the Russian-built cargo ship Progress 16 and the International Space Station (ISS). NASA had indicated that a failure of Progress 16 would lead to the evacuation of the ISS because food supplies are critically low."

    Not to sound like an ass, but blame it on the last crew, in particular the Russian commander.

    See, they had the munchies big time. The Russian in particular went around opening things up and eating the tasty bits.

    Then, the commander somehow "failed to communicate" the problem with mission controllers.

    What a turd, to leave the next guys up an almost empty set of cabinets...

    Sounds like my first set of roommates...

    If I were the current crew, first ting on my mind when I got back would be to kick that guy's ass!

    "than".

    Also, a space does not usually precede a comma.
    Also, "Preview" is your friend.

    etc., etc., etc.
