Last night, as a courtesy to those of us who had flown into orbit aboard the Shuttle but had not been allowed to take part in the main mission, I visited the International Space Station. I had no idea it was so well equipped with modern conveniences. There was so much to see that I didn't even notice that some kind of artificial gravity that must have been in effect, but it certainly must have been, otherwise, how was everyone walking about so normally and how did water stay in the swimming pool? The fact that so many senior citizens were on board the I.S.S. was a bit of a surprise, but I was thinking that most were in a reduced-gravity environment for health reasons.

Where did you go and what did you do last night?
