Today on the International Space Station!

So Much to Do, So Little Gravity

Well, I told you I was having a slow week. Somehow my google search for porn must have gone awry and I discovered the daily 'to do' list for the astronauts living on the incredibly expensive and incredibly useless International Space Station (ISS).

What are they up to? From what I understand, they're lighting a bunch of candles and looking for the power cord for their laptop computer. Later, it seems, they get to 'interface their umbilical assemblies and do some undocking observations. (Please use protection guys!).

But as Yoda would say, "Worry not dear taxpayer!" Because at some future date all this stuff will pay off with the next spin-off technology - like even better mylar balloons!
