Space Station in Trouble
The oxygen generator on the international space station has quit working. Should not be a problem as there is plenty of reserve before those manning it have to come home. But why would it fail?
A balky Russian oxygen generator broke down on the International Space Station, but its two-man crew has a reserve air supply that would last about five months, NASA officials said Friday.Is any other explanation really needed?
