The balky computers operated by the Russian cosmonauts on the International Space Station (
ISS) are all back on line this morning (Sunday). The docked space shuttle
Atlantis is likely to leave on Tuesday, although it could have stayed longer if the
ISS needed assistance. This mini-drama in orbit pointed out to us all that space travel is still complex and dangerous, but also that human ingenuity can help us adapt to and overcome the most hostile of environments.
