  1. Re:Oh great, more orbital shooting gallery! on India Developing Vehicle To Knock Enemy Satellites · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There's an article1 about the military version of the Soviet Salyut space station, which flew as Salyuts 3 and 5 between 1974 and 1977.
    Virtually no information was available about the military Salyuts until recently, when access was opened up to a full-scale training model at the Moscow Aviation Institute. Well, guess what--Salyut 3 had a machine gun. The station had a 23 mm rapid-fire cannon mounted on the outside, along the long axis of the station "for defence against US space-based inspectors/interceptors".

    The National Geographic-Roper Public Affairs 2006 Geographic Literacy Study paints a dismal picture of the geographic knowledge of the most recent graduates of the U.S. education system

    Thirty-three percent of respondents couldn't pinpoint Louisiana on a map.
    Fewer than three in 10 think it important to know the locations of countries in the news and just 14 percent believe speaking another language is a necessary skill.
    Two-thirds didn't know that the earthquake that killed 70,000 people in October 2005 occurred in Pakistan.
    Six in 10 could not find Iraq on a map of the Middle East.
    Forty-seven percent could not find the Indian subcontinent on a map of Asia.
    Seventy-five percent were unable to locate Israel on a map of the Middle East.
    Nearly three-quarters incorrectly named English as the most widely spoken native language.
    Six in 10 did not know the border between North and South Korea is the most heavily fortified in the world.
    Thirty percent thought the most heavily fortified border was between the United States and Mexico.
