Astronauts enter 'space cabin'

There's a lot of talk about the new space cabin. Astronauts bolted it to the International Space Station yesterday (al-AP story here). A "space cabin"? Let's call it what it really is: a Soviet tourist hostel that will allow them to make a few desperately needed rubles. If Putin spent more time working on the Russian economy than comparing a missile defense system to the offensive nuclear weapons deployed by the Soviets in Cuba, perhaps they would have enough coin to operate a space program.
