The Final Frontier

Thanks to some concerned citizen's Freedom of Information Act request (OK, it's really www.governmentattic.com), we can all see an inventory of the books, movies, and music aboard the International Space Station (.pdf; be warned, dialup users, it's a hefty 1.75 megabytes). The list is weighted towards science fiction. No surprise there. But someone who's been up there clearly has plans for the future. There's a copy of The Ten-Day MBA: A Step-By-Step Guide to Mastering the Skills Taught in America's Top Business Schools in orbit above us right now.--David E
