Satellite Debris Forces ISS Crew Into Rescue Craft
Muad'Dave writes "CNN is reporting that the crew of the International Space Station was forced to take refuge from a possible collision of the ISS with a piece of space debris Thursday. From the article: 'Floating debris from a satellite forced the crew of the international space station to retreat to a safety capsule Thursday, according to a NASA news release. .. The debris was too close for the space station to move out of the way, so the station's three crew members were temporarily evacuated to a the station's Soyuz TMA-13 capsule, NASA said.'" Update: 03/12 18:42 GMT by T : The original story incorrectly said the ISS had 18 crew members. Luckily for the three in the Soyuz, that was a mistake.

is it just me or is the moderator abuse getting a lot worse in the last month or so. the first 50 comments in any random thread seem to get really unfair downmods that are later reversed.
of course when i meta-mod i never get any comments that have actually been modded, so i can't rate them as unfair. thus, these users will continue to get points...
Soyez can hold 3. I would love to know how they put 18 in there..
The same way you put 50 Jews into a VW Beetle. Three in the seats and the remainder in the ashtray.
You really put the SS in the ISS don't you?
