Crew doubles aboard space station

[ZeeClone]

The International Space Station's crew has doubled after a Russian capsule carrying three astronauts docked at the orbiting outpost.

The Soyuz TMA-15 capsule carrying the astronauts docked with the ISS at 1334 BST (0834 EDT).

Why couldn't they have waited three more minutes to maximise the awesome of that event?

What's your point? I think we know that there is a 13:37.

Oddly enough, it's at the same time every day.


Or are you pointing out that the ISS has a crew of 3?

 

[ZeeClone]

Doubling the population at the best time of day for geeky awesomeness? It's like the witching hour for nerding

 

[Biek]

Do you do somekind of arm pump every day at 13:37?

 

[ZeeClone]

No. but if I have the option of doing something geeky during my lunch break I aim to start/finish at 1337.

I think the BBC noticed this and tried to fix it a little
