Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

Why wouldn't it fit in the shuttle to bring it back? It must have been
taken there so how did the shuttle shrink? Doesn't make sense. If
they took it out there with them, they could (just a guess) have
brought it back. Clearly a case of littering that the astronaut never
thought would come back to earth on it's own. Hope it hits his car!

The International Space Station was not sent up all at once, rather, it was built in steps by NASA. With each trip into space, more parts were delivered with it. Astronauts worked [and, still are working] to assemble all of the pieces together to create the station. The station is still being expanded and improved to this day. In the article, it said there wasn't enough room on the SHUTTLE. Not the STATION. The Station would not come back to Earth anyway. I am not sure why they were getting rid of the refridgeration unit, but the reason why they tossed the unit out was probably because the cost of sending and returning shuttles to the station is so high that they figured it would be better to toss the unit rather than waste all of that tax money just to retrieve an object that would not fit in the shuttle's cargo hold.

Well that makes more sense. As for why they decided to chuck it,
I'm thinking all the beer was gone so it was of no use anymore!
