It was luck.

I have read about the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (but most of it goes over my head) is there anything about this piece of science equipment that needs to be on a space station? Besides of course, that's just how it was designed? Can it be credited to the ISS? One nice thing about the Shuttle was its capability to become an instant space station, a talent which was abandoned in favor of it being transport for the ISS.

I'm asking, not arguing, because I don't know. Is there any consensus answer to the question: What is the greatest accomplishment of the International Space Station? Right now all I know is that from time to time I can point my finger to the sky, at a rapidly moving spot of light and say, "Yup, there it is."

Perhaps not a little pencil box, but a pencil box nonetheless. 8.25 x 5.5 x 2.5 Inches You can buy them on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Vaultz-L...

Once upon a time, SS cards said right on them "Not for identification." They still should. http://files.abovetopsecret.co...

It's not just that it's a scam, but that it's so obviously a scam. It has been disturbing to me that so much of the media parroted unquestioningly their press releases. Someday someone will go to Mars, but not anyone involved with Mars One. Not noway, not nohow.
