The thing looks incredible. I think its just a beta-unit for a space-based Hyatt Regency they are going to launch in 2004.

I'm following the progress of the station as well, Deja. My 6 year old son is showing a very intense interest in it. Amazing stuff.

Hehe, a beta test would be a good analogy. It's not much more than a political and scientific showcase as is, but who knows? It could feasibly be used as a starting point for a future large station, with perhaps industrial applications.
I try and get a look at it as it passes over, it's one incredible sight to see the glare of the sun off it as it shoots over at high velocity.

Pfft! International Space Station, now that's a good joke.

At least we had some control of SkyLab, I hope the Ruskies have at least that much control/contact with MIR.

Yeah that nuclear powered Russian spy-sat was a nightmare when it came down....

Frosty, do you mean that everything from launch facilities to life-support systems is made by Russians? It's not right, US helped a little too.

You must be referring to this:
The mission was repeatedly postponed because
of cost overruns and engineering setbacks
before the critical Zvezda went aloft in July.
Another Russian module, Zarya, and the
U.S.-made Unity have orbited together since
November 1998.
Not to mention the fact that the US Space Shuttle is responsible for putting all the pieces together. If you are trying to say that Russia is responsible for most of the work/cost, I think you are misinformed. It is truly an international effort.

Yep, Russia uses the $$ we give her to assist in the building of the "International" space station (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Mir is like 4 time the size that skylab was, and skylab was only 1 tube. Mir has like 4 or more tubes connected at perpindicular angles. I think Mir will defenately have some big parts that make it back to terra firma, hopefuly in the ocean....
