Astronauts Hook Up Harmony in Lengthy Spacewalk

Tech.Luver writes "Astronauts spent seven hours in space to finish preparing the International Space Station for its next addition — Europe's first permanent space laboratory, the Columbus laboratory — which is sitting in the cargo bay of space shuttle Atlantis at Cape Canaveral, Florida launch pad — set to lift off on December 6."

facebook tracking is getting ridiculous

Apparently, the facebook tracking system is getting ridiculous. It's even following me to slashdot, and predicting that I dislike facebook tracking and sending me to an AP article about it.

(If this was evidence editors don't RTFA before posting...) Or am I the only one to get an odd story when I click on the link?

Another first

Good, now they won't need to have all those extra remote control's floating around the ISS, Harmonies are great.

Maybe the headline was supposed to be "Astronauts Hook Up Via eHarmony in Lengthy Spacewalk"?

(also noting the headline grammar was bad too)

Astronauts?

[achenaar]

OK which is it:
"Astronaut Hooks Up Harmony" or "Astronauts Hook Up Harmony"?
It can't be both.
Also, can you imagine the instruction pamphlets on those suckers?
"Insert rod C in slot F adhesive adding after pressure applied good."

why is it named "Columbus"?

Do they expect that it will detach itself from the space station in search of a new world...appoint itself govorner of said new world, then return in shackles to be made prisoner by the spitefull europeans?
