GordonD Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Expedition 1 on the International Space Station was launched aboard Soyuz TM-31 on 31 October 2000. They docked with the ISS two days later, but their being in orbit during the approach flight marked the beginning of an unbroken human presence in space that continues today - 8,000 consecutive days. Wednesday will mark the ISS's 8,000th day of occupation but today is the real milestone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Didn't know that, thanks. Tonight I watched (online, because I haven't received my personal spacecraft yet - the Government still keeps me waiting for mine, I must be last in the queue or something) while NASA impacted its probe on a deep space asteroid, to test if such deflection techniques could help defend Earth from incoming cosmic threats. Science fiction has become science fact alright! Also today I had to wait again - over two minutes for my Americano coffee in McDonalds. Sometimes human technology isn't perfect. ☕ 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
