How will the space station help people on earth?
Mike: Excellent question. [talkover] That’s an excellent, excellent question. And that is the reason we go into space. The primary reason that we orbit into space is to better life on earth and I appreciate you asking that question. What we’re going to do on the space station is conduct a tremendous amount of research. The environment, in orbit, is microgravity. There’s no gravity. And there’s many things we can do on orbit that we cannot do on earth. There’s certain processes as far as making materials, as far as [drawing] semiconductors, as far as doing biological and life sciences research, say developing new drugs for diseases and cures for prostate cancer and diabetes. We’re doing active research on those, so we’re doing research activities that could never be done on earth in an environment in space to bring those applications home so if we have faster computer chips and hopefully help solve some of these medical dilemmas on earth. That’s our objective. John: From Sara, can the a
