Does that mean that Murphy Law of Combat applies here then: "Remember, your Weapon was made by the lowest bidder"

Back on Subject:
Endeavour has boosted the station, to a higher orbit and away from any rogue tool-kits

There been a problem with testing the Water system, but it appears to a be a solvable problem. Something to do with Distillation system.

I wonder if the toolbag will just fall towards earth and enter the atmosphere and burn up

I think it might burn up in the long run. ~380 km is not that much for an orbit.

Are you interested to see the lost bag in the sky with a simple binocular? Then visit this site: http://spaceweather.com/ Obviously in the sky there are thousands other things more interesting, but this is so curious...
Please observe at naked eye, after the sunset, Venus Jupiter and Moon: a great show!

Urine recycle equipment now functioning

Did anyone else hear on NASA TV, the 'order' for all Shuttle crew members to use the toilet as much as possible for further 'testing', or was it me hearing it wrong?

I don't want to sound chauvinistic, but for that kind of testing they really need women! Men only know how to miss the target and leave the cover up.

Besides, as soon as there is the slightest mention of liquids, women run to the nearest restroom for relief

Did anyone catch the story how people were able to see the lost toolbag with a telescope?  I caught it on MSNBC yesterday but here's a link to one of the articles: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2008/11/missing_nasa_tool_bag_found_la.php.
