Russian EVA-22:June 5, 2009
ISSCommander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineer Mike Barratt began a spacewalk at 3:52 a.m.
"I can tell you it is technically possible to separate the Russian segment (from the ISS) and fly free."
Russian space official.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV-95kcMbxw
Russia is making plans to detach and fly away its parts of the ISS when the time comes to de-orbit the rest of the outpost.
"most observers agree that most of the ISS will have to be scrapped around 2020.
According to the plans, the remaining Russian modules will form the core of a new orbital outpost, which would serve as a haven and assembly shop for deep space missions heading to the Moon, Mars and beyond. "
Unlike many Nasa and European space officials, Russian engineers are confident that even after two decades in orbit, their modules would be in good enough shape to form the basis of a new space station.
"We flew on Mir for 15 years and accumulated colossal experience in extending the service life (of such a vehicle)," said a senior Russian official at RKK Energia, Russia's main contractor on the ISS.

“6/4″ for the date of the Tiananmen massacre or “Charter 8"





Prosperity Can't Erase Tiananmen -By WU'ER KAIXI
In the aftermath of the bloodshed in Beijing 20 years ago -- when I first went into hiding -- my mother had a stroke. It paralyzed one side of her face. I was 10 years in exile before my brother told me. I do not regret what we did in Beijing that year the Berlin Wall fell, when there was so much hope of change in the air, but the deaths have haunted me for 20 years, and I want to hug my mother and tell her: "Sorry."
The deal was economic prosperity in exchange for political quiescence and continued and unchallenged one-party rule. For years, I have been describing it as a "lousy deal." But today, on the anniversary of the bloodshed that ended the protests, I would like to add that it is also an illusory deal.

China Censors: The Tiananmen Square Anniversary Will Not Be Tweeted | Wired.com



Tank Man, or the Unknown Rebel
1989 Tiananmen Square
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man
There are several conflicting stories about what happened to him after the demonstration.
In a speech to the President's Club in 1999, Bruce Herschensohn ― former deputy special assistant to President of the United States Richard Nixon ― reported that he was executed 14 days later;
other sources say he was killed by firing squad a few months after the Tiananmen Square protests.
In Red China Blues: My Long March from Mao to Now, Jan Wong writes that the man is still alive and is hiding in mainland China.
Tank Man - Wikipedia
It happened in Tiananmen Square- Al Jazeera English
"I got to the balcony just in time because the troops did arrive right after that. I saw the shooting and then saw ambulances coming onto the square .... And I see the man climb up onto the tank. He seems to want to speak to the people inside .... He's become a symbol but he's a mystery - no one knows who he is."
http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/general/2009/05/200953022567830780.html


Two decades ago, the world watched as thousands of Chinese students and their supporters occupied Tiananmen Square for weeks demanding democracy — and then were violently removed on June 4, 1989, by the Chinese military.

"Tension Begins Over Space Station's Future"
NASA is telling its partners it has no plans for "utilization and exploitation" of the international venture after 2015, just five years after it becomes fully operational.
That's apparently worrying folks in Europe and Russia, who think that too much money and time has been put into constructing the ISS to abandon it so early. With NASA contributing 70 percent of the funds, a decline in US participation would be devastating for the project.
European Space Agency head Jean-Jacques Dordain told reporters this week that the ESA can't step in to fill NASA's shoes.
With NASA's budget strained by plans for maned Moon missions, a long list of scientific goals, and even manned Mars exploration, it's no wonder that the ISS's projected annual $2.3 billion cost to the U.S. is seen as a considerable burden. But it would be a shame to lose the station so soon -- if the U.S. drops its funding, maybe Russia can step in with some of those petrodollars instead.

"2015年末をもって米国はISSから手を引く考え
欧州とロシアはより多くの科学実験を行うため2015年後もISSを利用する必要があるとみている。ただ欧州宇宙機関(ESA)のドルダン局長は、ESAにはISS維持費の大半を賄っている米国の肩代わりをする用意はないとも述べた。
このためISSの寿命は同年末までとなる可能性がある。
米国は、ブッシュ大統領が2020年までに米国人飛行士を再び月に送る方針を示しているほか、
グリフィン局長も最近、2037年までに火星への有人着陸を目指すと述べており、ISSは2015年に用済みになるとの立場。
これに対し欧州とロシアは、ISSは軌道上の宇宙実験室として必要不可欠とみている。特に欧州はISSに投じられる資金や労力から、完成後5年間という運用期間は短か過ぎると考えている"

The spacecraft has now completed two flybys of Venus and is on its way to Mercury. It will fly by Mercury three times before starting a yearlong orbit of the innermost planet in March 2011."
