I've decided that I would not like to go. The thought of them running Windows just scares me! It could BSOD at any moment! Why didn't they just install Linux? Then they could have had stability, security, and a small footprint so that they could have more room for the stuff they actually need! Until they switch to Linux or at least get rid of Windows, I will not be vacationing at the space station. What do think?

You must be thinking of the old MIR space station. The one I'm referring to, the International Space Station, ISS, is state of the art. Well, it should be atlease.

no no i am talking about that "state of the art" station that was originally planned in the 1960's originally costing something like 20 million dollars and ended up around 50 billion.

that thing is the biggest joke i've ever seen in my life why dont they invest in research for something more practical like a low earth orbit slingshot device or something.

If you cant afford ฤ million maybe you could try these guys. Much more affordable, although slightly smaller than a russian PROTONM rocket.
