Somewhat off topic - but I would really like to see a list of the things
that have been done on the ISS to date that justify it's existance, other
that fixing toilets in weightlessness, Things like new miracle drugs, new
manufacturing techniques, advances in chemistry and physics, Hell, I'd
even settle for something like "A Determination of the Effect of
Weightlessness and Low Atmospheric Pressure on the Mating Rituals of the
Sub-Sahara Central East African Tse Tse Fly While in the Presence of
Atmospheric Constituents Associated with Mid-Sized Primates with Limited
Toilet Priviledges".

Start here.

The problem with most science is "it's boring." That's why people don't
hear much about it.

It's not so much that, but rather that if the science isn't exciting
the people don't think it's science. Decades of edutainment have done
that for us.
