ISS Gets New Recycling Gear, Ready For Larger Crew

TnGoastiiaiu submitted a space.com story that expands on coverage we've had earlier about improvements being made to the ISS to increase crew capacity. He writes "ISS gets new recycling gear that transforms human waste to drinking water. Some of the water will be used to get Oxygene, too. This way it will soon be possible to host more crew members. " Also, someone needs to smack the webmaster over there for putting a background texture behind the text. It's pretty unreadable along the left hand side of the screen.

God, I love that album. He was using analog synths, they sound really substantial. Sadly, they also are a PITA to keep in tune a lot of times, and actually getting the cool sounds was very time-consuming. Nowadays we sometimes compromise by using digital samples of analog synth sounds. It's like a 90% solution, to my ears. But since most music gets played as a 256kb mp3 file anyway, it just isn't as important as it used to be.

I miss the days of 2" tape and vinyl LPs sometimes. Though making music on the Mac is way less hassle, it's also a bit less magical, and it never sounds quite as good.
