<p>This reminds me... I remember a while back people were talking about launching a rocket that would release some kind banner in orbit that would reflect the sunlight and we'd have a nice Nike/Coke symbol moving through the skies at night.</p><p> </p><p>Whatever happened with that?</p>

I had a coworker named Fred pass away about a month ago, so that's an extra reason why I like the name. ;-) He really liked the space program, too, so he would've liked that joke. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em> -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
<p><font size="2">Originally I liked the name Alpha; it sounds cool and it was a brilliant idea. Its like a fantastic shoe, but one that just doesn't fit. Now I appreciate the discriptive name ISS -- International Space Station, more than ever, and like it more than Alpha because really, ISS is <em>NOT </em>an "Alpha" in my mind. There have been other Space Stations before: Salyut, Skylab and Mir specifically. Alpha designates the first, not grandest space station. Obviously ISS is the best, so I would like to call it Space Station Transcendence ..or Space Station Cardinal.</font></p>
