Awesome!!!!

Great achievment for NASA, the scientists invlolved, and the human race!

It is sad (IMHO) that the general publc is more interested/excited over things like "American Idol" than our exploration of space :(

Wow, 90 days already? :)

I remember when they thought it would only last a month or so.. its almost on 3! Great accomplishment from NASA.

Any idea how long this thing can run?

Thanks for keeping us updated HomeBrewerDude.

Maybe we could set American Idol on Mars. And the losers get tossed out the nearest airlock!

God knows the lack of air on Mars couldnt hurt their singing much.
