It's becoming one busy place.
I've thought about what my great grandkids would think about our
arguments over manned space flight. Do you think they'd be looking at
us like we look at those who argued man wasn't meant to fly?
Time seems to go by so fast. I was reminded of this when they brought
that pilot back who was shot down in the gulf war. Was it really 19
years ago? Where did those 19 years go? Oh, Kodak quit making film and
I'm now complaining about the cost of a terabyte external drive. 19
years ago I had a smuggled out from Micron a 1 megabyte wafer of chips
about the size of a CD hanging from my car mirror. Now it's a joke.
I miss the days of tubing down the river with a beer in one hand,
straw grass in my mouth and getting burnt to a crisp.

Here's another example: the space station, where not much science
is getting done by the three-person crew.
Up to six now. There are currently two Soyuz spacecraft on station
at a given time, since May 29, 2009. To be precise, TMA-14 and
TMA-15 are docked at the Pirs nadir port and the Zarya nadir port
respectively, and Progress 34P is docked at the Zvezda aft port.
