Today on the ISS
What's Your Sleep Number?
Well, our $100 billion dollar investment in a ''space laboratory" continues to pay massive dividends. Just look at today's space station itinerary!
Last week the crew was focused on candle installations and merging their umbical units (he-he!). This week, they seem to be focused on 1) Regeneration of absorbant beds #1, 2 and 3 (Which one can only imagine as some high tech sleep number bed, but is most likely some old craftmatic 2). My favorite remains the ten minute they have scheduled for 'pre-sleep', which here on earth we call 'work'.
Word from NASA is that if we continue to spend these billions, then spin off technologies are right around the corner...like the recent advent of self-heating soup cans.
