Shuttle Discovery has finished delivering to the International Space Station the last part of the involved Japanese research module Kibo. This is quite a large module, one section is intended as a pressurized human access laboratory and quarters, and there are exposed to space areas with suitable mounting points for experimental devices, as well as a large manipulator arm.

.."Kibo is the first manned facility of Japan in which a maximum of four astronauts can perform experimental activities for a long duration of time. Kibo consists of four components. Two experimental facilities, the Pressurized Module and Exposed Facility, logistics modules attached to each of them and, a Manipulator to be used for experiments or for ORU changeout tasks." A good over view there with some detailed specs and explanations. The ISS is really coming together now as a true multifunction habitat and science lab.

The title is electric sheep,not just sheep, and I guess I am the only guy here who didn't ever see this usenet reference. I've only used usenet a few times to see what it was about, all I remember is re;re;re;re; in an endless stream of tons of nonsense to read one line of the actual message, so I never got into it. I know it used to be real popular and still is in some circles, but never made an impression on me. I have always liked online forums (like this one) much better.

Yeah, someone beat me to it - I was wondering if they were going to attach an additional module later called Xibo, that looked identical but did totally different things.
