The Final Frontier.

The new wings on the International Space Station look terrific. What an amazing undertaking we have all committed to as human beings.

Currently there are three separate spacecraft in orbit of our planet. A Russian Soyuz pod heading to the I.S.S. with a Cosmonaut, American Astronaut and Iranian-American business woman. STS-115 Space Shuttle Atlantis is free from the station with all six crew members in fine health and heading home. Five Americans and a Canadian are aboard. Finally, the Station holds Expedition 13 with it's Russian Commander, American specialist and German-born E.S.A. Member.

That's 12 humans, representing five different countries, on three vehicles, around this beautiful, unique planet.

WE are an amazing species. Both terrible and wondrous in our actions. Yet, when we hold our one, irrefutable commonality in perspective of any dispute we may think could set segregate us, there is no end to our marvelous capabilities.
