NASA says International Space Station is now ‘essentially’ complete

The news got a bit overlooked among the hubbub of Discovery’s final flight and the first humanoid robot sent into space, but the recently completed shuttle mission also marked another significant milestone: it delivered the final room to the International Space Station.

Having the WVTA stamp of approval means that the scooter meets EU performance standards and can be sold in Europe — setting it free to frolic hither and yon on the cobblestone streets of the old country. No word on plans to bring it to the US, but a boy can dream, can’t he? PR’s after the break.
