November 2nd marks the 15th anniversary of the International Space Station (ISS*) being crewed; congratulations to all those involve in this scientific, technical and human marvel. 

Lets go somewhere new next.


* I wonder what proportion of people will know what the ISS , rather than just guessing it's some incarnation of ISIL and their ilk, who are almost the antithesis of this space exploration.

There are ideas and plans for a Mars colony at some point. Maybe within ten to twenty years? That would be pretty cool.   :cool:
