Trouble in space

There is a problem with the International Space Station’s main computer.  The computer that keeps the space station in orbit.  The Russians are blaming the addition of a solar array by the Americans.  That is a classic “It worked fine before you added this device” post-hoc theory.  Sometimes that works. 

 I just think its slightly humorous that the space station is having IT related issues.  They don’t seem much different from some of the remote management problems I run into at work.  At least they have some ‘hot hands’ on the station, or else it could be a real nightmare to send a technician out on a call.
