International Space Station

I heard recently that NASA intend on finishing the ISS for 2010.

I think the project is an amazing step forward in our space technology.
I also think that the space station should be used for constructing shuttles, as the fuel needed to 'take off' from the space station would be less. Although it wasn't intended for that purpose I think the station's completion could lead to other stations being made that would be used for the construction of shuttles, satellites, etc.

What are your thoughts on the ISS?

I'm more interested in space exploration, than In ISS.

What do I think about ISS ? Well, first of all, it's too expensive. The costs are around thousands of billions $.

Secondly, no significative scientific research have been conducted on ISS.

I believe ISS it's a nice dream giving the opportunity to different space stations to work together.

I think a trip on the soon to arrive Virgin space shuttles is on my ticklist for things to do when I'm older. Quite expensive though. Might have to put off buying that gold plated pool table. Hmmm... decisions decisions...

Hehe. I still dream to fly into the space, at least on Mars. Maybe that day I could see those damn martians.

I thought he was a paranoid android, but never knew he were a Martian too.

I know he was around for many years before they gave him a name. He may not have originally been a Martian. Some of the more clever and subtle Looney Tune stuff got a little too cute when they started adding to the collection in recent decades.
