Air leak confines ISS astronauts to module

Russian and NASA officials will be confining astronauts on board the International Space Station to one module for up to five days to hunt down a slow leak spewing air into the void.

By closing the hatches that connect the four main modules - two Russian and two American - and monitoring them independently, the space agencies of both the nations hope to narrow their search for the presumed leak.

2. Didn't Poppy Bush push the ISS?

Not sure, but I recall Poppy was the one who really made the ISS happen.

As much as I love space exploration, the ISS has not done all that much, IMHO. I wonder if Jr's space plans will have similar outcomes?

3. What a waste of money!

We could have just had a smaller space station that would make a good docking/refueling point to get back to the moon in a shuttle.
