Big Duh from me on this. I once got in trouble at NASA for sending an official E-mail calling the ISS Mir-II.

It may have been a flying Chernobyl, but Mir was there, and had been inhabited continuously for more than a decade, if I recall correctly. What a shame we didn't buy it, or at least buy into it.

That wasn't very nice! Mir was a great piece of hardware that performed robustly, outlived its design life and produced plenty of data, especially on long term physiological effects from space. The ISS on the other hand...well, if I shared my true feelings on it we'd all learn some new words and I'd be banned.
