They always seem to revel in perceived America failures, rolling around in it like pigs in mud, our media. If everything was going well you would be seeing no coverage of this ho hum flight . They barely covered the liftoff the other day any more than the blogs did, this one included.
Computer's 'Fatal Flaw' Puts Space Station in Jeopardy
Russian Sources Tell ABC News U.S. Equipment May Have Contributed to Glitch (oh, that settles it ABC...)
ABC News: "A source inside the Russian space agency has told ABC News that there could be a 'fatal flaw' with the International Space Station's main computer. "After working for a couple of days, the Russians still have no idea what the problem is, but they are pointing the finger at the Americans.
They say that setting up the solar array sent electromagnetic interference into the computer, shutting it down.The president and vice president of the state-owned Energia Space Rocket Corp., which operates the flight, told ABC News while they are still trying to fix the failure from the ground, they now believe they will have to send up a completely new power supply for the computer system. read moreWhile the failure means the Russians have no flight control, they believe that the U.S. portion of the station can control the station's flight in the meantime.
They say they're working on a plan with the Americans for this now. In the simplest terms, they have no orientation control now and are reliant on the Americans to "drive" the station. read more
So Russia, whenever your ready to contribute more than "Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi" type criticisms and something more substantial than a few cosmonauts and 60's era type rockets (which are incredibly reliable we must acknowledge) let us know.
Meanwhile keep up the blame game as we see it's incredibly effective in the liberal run congress so far seeing as they haven't been able to accomplish a damn thing since elected 8 months ago.
