When's the cupola going up? That's the coolest component ever.

True, it's pretty cool. It is attached to Node 3 and will be launched on STS-130, currently scheduled for 2/4/2010.

It was shipped to the United States in 2004. The thing will be at least five years old before it ever gets to the station.

The part that always gets me about things like that? These guys ARE rocket scientists.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Query what the turnaround time might have been had this been a 100% private sector enterprise.
