Not really. Many astronauts get assigned that sort of managerial duty between flight assignments. You gotta keep them busy when they aren't training for a flight. Three of them are recent/current residents of the ISS.
As for science, it's not a science flight. In fact, the last science flight was STS-107. It's a final delivery flight to the station. So the crew composition makes sense for the tasks.
Despite the doom and gloom, the adoption rate is on par with that of DVD when it was at the same point in its release cycle. It might even be a percentage point higher.
Not including PS3 numbers is misleading. I know more people who use a PS3 as a primary Blu-ray player and own movies on Blu-ray Disc than who own a standalone Blu-ray player.
And the firesale of HD-DVD hardware and software at mega-clearance prices probably had some impact. Doesn't really mean much in the real world as the percentage isn't going to increase since players aren't being manufactured and discs aren't being produced.
Price.
I've never rented a Blu-ray from national blue-shirt movie rental chain because they charge too much. So many times I've been tempted and then I look at the rental price and just put it back on the shelf.
Heck, I won't even rent new release DVDs because of the price. I wait until they go to 5-night rentals.
The title of the submission is missing a closing em tag after the word "Metroid", causing any non-styled text below it to appear italicized. This affects any page containing the title.
That defeats the purpose of having dead space in between keys to prevent fat-fingering.
