International Space Station Is Getting A New Veranda - I Wonder If They Need Some Furniture

Here's an excerpt from an AP article written by Marcia Dunn:

"CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Space shuttle Endeavour's astronauts inspected their ship for damage Thursday as NASA struggled to understand why a normally benign section of the fuel tank lost so much foam during liftoff.

The slow, tedious work unfolded as the shuttle rocketed toward the international space station for a Friday linkup. It was the first full day in orbit for the seven astronauts, who are delivering a veranda for Japan's enormous lab. It also happened to be the 40th anniversary of the launch of the first manned moon landing."

Seems to me we could be expanding our reach here at HomeandBackyard.com and seeing if the astronauts would like some nice FSC outdoor furniture, or perhaps some solar lighting, or even an outdoor heater (I hear it's pretty cold in space). If anyone reads this, tell them astronauts to take a look at www.homeandbackyard.com

We might have some good options for making their stay in outer space more comfortable.
