I think we should stop this MirCorp bashing thread: just as Igor
Lissov has pointed out - it has been pretty pointless;
the decision to deorbit Mir may or may be not be officialy proposed today
- but nothing really depends on opinions expressed at the FPSPACE
mailing list.
plus, in any event, this was a very first real effort to create commercial
space station. MirCorp deserves respect for this and let's give them
some credit.
