Way To Go, Space Station

TWIT would like to congratulate the International Space Station on making its 100,000th orbit today.  That comes to over 2.6 billion miles traveled since it was launched November 20, 1998. 

For those of you that didn't know, the Space Station is approximately the size of a football field.  The United States spends about $10 billion a year on football, and only about $3 billion a year on the Space Station.
