In the Space headlines today
Soyuz docked with the ISS. This part is interesting gossip:

Since Columbia disintegrated while returning to Earth on Feb. 1, 2003, the U.S. manned space program has been on hold, leaving Russia's non-reusable Soyuz capsules as the only means for getting crew to and from the station. Russia's unmanned Progress spaceships also ferry supplies to the ISS.

Russia wants to extend the crews' missions from six months to a year; that way, it could sell more seats on the two Soyuz spacecraft it has funding to build each year to high-paying "space tourists."

Of course NASA says no.

Also, in this scientific day and age...
I noticed this event. Now that ought to do it, especially on Adolf Hitler's 109th Birthday!
