Just two weeks after the arrival of the Internet, the International Space Station is getting an Italian-made observation deck that will offer panoramic views of Earth.
Space shuttle Endeavour will deliver the seven-windowed dome to the International Space Station next week, along with more living space in an chamber called Tranquility.
One of the more striking things that I’ve seen about the ISS is that there’s only a single window on the entire thing, and it’s just a small port hole that has to be covered and uncovered, much like this. Let’s hope this results in more pictures from the station.

Very cool. I did’t know you could get the internet in space, 3G network? 🙂
haha, no, 3g would be too overloaded at that orbit, there’s what, 6 people on the ISS? way too many for a single 3g access point 😛
