With a crew of only two, Commander Sergei Krikalev and Flight Engineer John Phillips, I can't help wondering what can be accomplished aboard the International Space Station. As it turns out, plenty.
Also quite surprisingly, the crew is living comfortably despite being without their Elektron oxygen-generation system (machine to make oxygen). They apparently have enough alternate oxygen sources to last into next year if they can't be re-supplied sooner or fix the machine.
At $1 billion+ it's still worth every penny.
