[FPSPACE] Re: MirCorp's money for ISS ?

[David Anderman]

Folks, this is the world's first commercial space station.  Please don't 
expect that execution of this concept will be error-free.

I would hope that the general tenor of the discussion here would be 
supportive, but what we are seeing are comments such as "So, MirCorp's 
backers are 6 weeks late on a payment - I *told* you this was a bad idea!".

All sorts of things will go wrong at Mir.  Visitors will get sick, 
equipment will fail, perhaps a Soyuz rocket will have a bad day. It's 
space. It's hard.
