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.

It was falling apart. It needed to go.
