Is it routine for Polish bars to have English on the menus?

Russia owns’s nearly 1/2 of India’s BrahMos. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/india-russia-defence-firm-eyes-200-mln-missile-deal-with-indonesia-2023-03-15/

Reread the article. Only some of the modules (most likely Russian) are being de-orbited. The rest of ISS will be rebranded. My hope was that they could just move the abandoned modules into a higher graveyard orbit like we do with other items to big to safely re-enter, but NASA nixed the idea.

Does that translate to the US picking up the tab to deorbit the Russian modules? Any idea of how many modules are being saved?

Remember how many decades it took us to build a replacement for Skylab?

Remember how many decades it took us to build a replacement for the Space Shuttle?

The discussion on saving the ISS as a resource is useful. Lets hope most of it can be saved or it'll be decades more.

Feel free to stop participating if you don't have anything meaningful to add.

Maintaining ISS runs about $3 billion a year. Getting that much gear up there cost $150 billion. The tug boat NASA is building for $80 million could just as easily push up as it does down. NASA wants chunks of it brought down like we did with SkyLab, albeit a little bit more controlled this time, but a hell of a lot larger.

Save the hate. I just thought we could have a discussion about saving some space history by moving the station into higher orbit. No shortage of debris in space so I'm glad they are at least being responsible about the millions it will cost to deorbit ISS.

Nope. Space travel is like funding trips to the new world. One day Musk’s Tesla Starman in space will be as famous as Plymouth rock. https://spacein3d.com/where-is-starman-live-tracker/

When folks live in space they’ll want cheap places to go. Having a piece of living history is something of a rarity up there! At least the moon has a flag & moon buggy.

Low earth orbit is where all the action is at. Boosting to a higher orbit means physically more space and increased time to react.

Apple bought Dark Sky when they released their popular iOS app for android. The Dark Sky dev team has made Apple Weather better but we lost a lot from not having better competition.

Moving the structure to higher orbit and making it a tourist space museum spot would be a better use.

Casio makes good waterproof android phones too.

That is way too much to pin on any one person to fix. The decades of declining birth rate is front and center Japan’s number one problem. No point in arguing about the return of the Kuril islands if both Japan and Russia are both losing population each year. https://asia.nikkei.com/Opinion/Japan-s-successes-in-boosting-birthrates-should-not-be-overlooked

Good people are always helping out others!

Should get featured in the town parade in recognition for all the hardwork Grandpa has done.

Had always hoped Hong Kong and Taiwan would join a democratic China. The appeal for a democracy to willing join an autocracy is limited.

Recycling Glass, Metal & Paper is easy. It's the plastic that is choking us.

Disney’s version is a 1/100 replica scale (147 feet vs 14.7k) of the Matterhorn.

Is Disneyland’s Matterhorn mountain next?

Any evidence of the seal? Hope they aren’t being blamed to add hype to what would be a regular board vs body accident.

People would pay for movie prop sodas! You might be onto a biz idea! There should be a film brand that gives free license and product for shows and sells to consumers with proceeds going to the actor’s guild.

Probably inventory that got scrapped.

Wild how they are sorted by color! Why?
