Who wants to be a Cosmonaut? The size limitations to squeeze into that phone booth that is called a Soyuz is laughable. When are the Russians ever going to develop a booster to be able to launch anything other than a tincan?
They are one step past ESA. At least the tincan can soft land back on Earth! _________________ The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.

OK. Maybe they should let the Oblablanauts in the ISS wait for the next commercial flight back home. |

In 2013 it is a notable achievement to unfurl a flag in space? _________________ I can saw a woman in two, but you won't want to look in the box when I'm through.

Well, if you can't make it to the moon, just unfurl one randomly between the earth and moon. _________________ People Of Love

They probably did it to conceal from the cameras the explosives they were mounting to the ESA Columbus module. _________________

How do you know they're not the ones who sabotaged ours, so we wouldn't notice the explosives the put on the ESA Columbus module? _________________

I suggest you fly your flag of convencience wherever those shuttles are now and show a nice display of fireworks for the Challenger and Columbia. Because size matters. |
