<--Astronauts working on Kibo

Being called the Lexus of Space Labs by Wired Magazine the International Space Station received a well deserved addition after the Space Shuttle Discovery recently docked with Kibo. Kibo is a Japanese space laboratory that rivals the luxury of Lexus cars. Adding 11,000 cubic feet, Kibo contains about the same amount of space as a five-story house. That is a really impressive number if you consider that the Space Shuttle

Discovery lugged it up to the Space Station.
As we speak, the space addition that rivals luxury found in Lexus cars is being installed. The space lab is 37 feet long, will have an outer porch with space arms, closet space and is 9 feet longer then the US Harmony lab on the space station.

Some are expecting the lab to have flat screen TV hook ups and WiFi connectivity. Lexus auto dealers should be pleased with this out of the blue compliment from space. I can see the car manufacturer using this quote for advertising. Being endorsed by any countries’ space program is a big deal.
