Satellite Debris Forces ISS Crew Into Rescue Craft 171

Muad'Dave writes "CNN is reporting that the crew of the International Space Station was forced to take refuge from a possible collision of the ISS with a piece of space debris Thursday. From the article: 'Floating debris from a satellite forced the crew of the international space station to retreat to a safety capsule Thursday, according to a NASA news release. .. The debris was too close for the space station to move out of the way, so the station's three crew members were temporarily evacuated to a the station's Soyuz TMA-13 capsule, NASA said.'" Update: 03/12 18:42 GMT by T : The original story incorrectly said the ISS had 18 crew members. Luckily for the three in the Soyuz, that was a mistake.

Get an unlimited data plan and a cell phone that allows you to hook up an external antenna. Likely you will spend a lot of time within a few miles of shore. Plus on days you are in port you don't have to search for an internet cafe.

In my experience the 'sea days' when the ship's cell tower is the only signal are the minority.
