Amazing flight demo! I hope I live long enough to do something like this. Richard Branson (Virgin) is just the guy to do it too.

Happy Birthday, International Space Station Posted: 1 year ago by pocksucket
20th November 1998 saw the deployment of the first part of the International Space Station. 10 years on, it is still not finished, the merits of the science it embodies are in question and today it transpires they've recently lost a spider and a tool bag.
But happy birthday, anyway.
