New we understand why NASA needs our tax dollars. To build toy ships in space. GET BACK TO REAL WORK!

We should all get a refund for the time and resources he wasted on this. Then he should be FIRED!

If you look at the original story, you'll notice that there is a purpose for this little exercise:

And hey, even astronauts need some down time, right?

you do realize that this is NOT an american astronaut? :-) no US tax dollars spent ;-)

NASA wasn't even mentioned, go to school and be educated :-)

You do realize that the guy who built this isn't even a NASA astronaut right? He's a Japanese JAXA astronaut and so NASA isn't in charge of what experiments he performs and can't fire him because he doesn't work for them.

Mr. Furukawa, thank you for being an inspiration to my budding geek son. He might end up looking at your photos and figure out how to build his own.

What the world would look like if more adults made an effort to be an inspiration, rather than browbeating drones...
