[FPSPACE] Today's Soyuz landing

[Phillip Clark]

Just remember that NASA doesn't know the differemnce between miles and km, so an hour's error in calculating a flight time is a minor problem.

  Has someone seen that NASA gives a wrong "Time in orbit" at
  http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition12/index.htm
  l

  NASA says
  189 days 18 hours 51 minutes

  More correct is
  189 days 19 hours 53 minutes

  NASA lost 1 hour maybe due to ingnoring the Daylight Saving Time.
