The ISS is 'decorated' to support 7 people. According to the contract 3 of 7 are American, 3 Russian and 1 of an other participating organisation. Sinds Germany is part of ESA, I wondering when they are willing to give up their seat just to send some tourist into space instead of doing some major research...
Yes, water is nessacerry. First of all: Water (and propably methane (CH4), Carbondioxide (C02) and Oxiden (O2)) are needed to form organic matter. (Maybe C can be replaced by (Si))
Secondly, organisms need a liquid to transport raw materials trough their bodies. H20 is the only liquid which can do this, because it has very specifical properties like the way the different molecules bind with each other:
(Sorry,/. won't let be draw the molecular structure, due through a lameless filter????)
If they are as big as Jupiter it's gonna be difficult to support life (like we know it).
First of all: Planets of these sizes are mostlikely to be gas-giants. And it's damn difficult to built houses on gas-giants. But if it is a solid planet grafity is gonna be to strong for normal lifeforms to walk around.

In author-law ISP's fall in the same category as Publishers. This means they are not responsible for anythink there authors/ users publish.
Normaly mp3's bring in a lot of trafic. Thus the ISP's can charge you more. So, I don't see why they would want to delete your mp3 files. "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Yeah, that's right. In fact: Mir was just an abandend alien warehouse in space, which the Russians cracked too.

Amonia is a solution of Amoniak (NH3) in water, which gives a chemical reaction:
NH3 + H20 -> NH4+ + OH-
My point is: You'd still need water
Yes, water is nessacerry. First of all: Water (and propably methane (CH4), Carbondioxide (C02) and Oxiden (O2)) are needed to form organic matter. (Maybe C can be replaced by (Si))

If they don't get it right, and won't hit anyone they'll get a second try with MIR.....
Solar sales are ugly: Imagine the Enterprise with them....
I've seen this commend a view times now and I think it does make things more clear.
There are several newspapers over the world called the times, like the NY times and the london times.
They've been fighting over this for years now: Will it heal itself or won't it?
I must have heard it for about O 3 times now...
Let's not be dramaticly and completly dispose off cellphones. I'll suggest to wait for UMTS.
Besides, in Holland we have two networks: 900mhz and 1800mhz. Since 1800 isn't much less from 2400 I don't think it would make a difference.
