On a related subject: Perhaps I'm stating the obvious but maybe not obvious to all. It was okay to use the names Zarya and ISS interchangeably when Zarya was the only component in orbit. But now since Zarya and Unity have been joined it can only be called properly ISS or I suppose Zarya/Unity or Unity/Zarya. I suspect some less careful people may tend to continue to call it Zarya. But after they read this, they won't. <g> :-) The International Space Station sounds okay to me. It wouldn't surprise me if that name ends up being *the* name. Certainly the momentum is there already. -- Jake Rees
