This is about the s****dest thing I ever heard if you are living in the same place in the middle of space it behoves you to get along with each other no matter what country your from fighting over which toilet you use is not getting along

This is so puerile. Ah well, as the expression goes, "S**t happens", OR NOT in this case!!!   

[STS78MEMBER]

HAHA!  Interesting article.

Very interesting article. I like the fact that Padalka said that they are all grown-ups and can manage things the right way to have a good relationship up there. It is very true that the politicians are the ones causing all of the problems. Which brings up another interesting point...laws in space. During STS-119, a school had their students asking the crews of Discovery and ISS what laws apply in space. Finke answered that they all cooperate and haven't had to worry about something like that yet.

With this article, I wonder what would happen to the crews when they got back to their respective country if they didn't follow what the politicians wanted.

I agree that it certainly sounds like an April Fools wind up, but I read it yesterday (31st March) linked from the BBC's homepage.
