    Remind Me Not to Dine at Cape Canaveral

    ik- a tidbit from the wire about the current shuttle mission:

    Monday, the shuttle crew and three space station crew began unloading cargo as part of an outer space home-improvement mission that will allow the station crew to expand from three to six members next year.

    Among the items unloaded were a second toilet for the station, an exercise machine, kitchenette, two sleeping compartments and a water recycling system that will allow astronauts to purify urine and sweat, turning it into drinkable water.
