Why aren't they making it circular like all the space stations you see in Sci-Fi?

No way for us to build anything like that right now. Besides the point of the ISS is to do microgravity experiments so rotating it would be counter productive. 😉

Yep, like hitting a golf ball into space. Testing to see if a boomerang will return when thrown in micro-gravity. And, I've heard that they're going to throw a specially designed paper airplane to see if it can survive re-entry! I'm sure that'll have far reaching effects on us. 😛


AWESOME pictures though!

that whole boomerang thing reminded me of plane on a treadmill, it was like wait... what? then oooooooohh DUH! the paper airplane one sounds equally as duh-ish...

so like are all the useful experiments top secret classified or something?
