There was a fellow on Fox tonight or maybe it was CNN who said the angle of
their orbits were too different and the Shuttle could never have made it to
there with the fuel they had, I don't recall his name but they said he was
an expert. I wonder if this is the end of the International Space Station,
the last time a shuttle blew up the entire fleet was grounded for almost 3
years and I don't think the station could continue for that long with just
the Russians. If so then High School kids will just have to do their
science projects on the ground.
