Space Shuttle

What happened to the guys left on the space station after the recent loss of the Space shutltle. Did they ever get a lift back down or are they still up there ?

TV heads up

On this subject there is a programme on CH4 tomorrow evening (Sat 15th) – looks like it may expose some shortcomings in the Shuttle program.

They are still up there. They were due to be replaced about March by Shuttle. The last I head they are planning to change them by a Russian Soyus craft. But leaving only two in the next crew so that they will need less supplies also by sent up by an unmanned rocket. The ISS website is at:-
