International Space Station - this sense is, however, a subject of strong debate. After the accident of the Space Shuttle Columbia on February 1, 2003, and the subsequent suspension of the US Space Shuttle program, the future of the ISS is uncertain. The construction is halted as that is done by the Space Shuttle, and the crew exchange is done using the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. With Soyuz TMA-2 a two-astronaut caretaker crew is launched, instead of the previous crews of three. The ISS has seen the first space tourist, Dennis Tito, who reported spent 20 million USD to fly aboard a Russian supply mission and the first space wedding when Yuri Malenchenko on the station married Ekaterina Dmitriev who was in Texas.

Ken Buchanan - but on January 29, 1970, he found his first stone on the boxing road when he challenged future world Jr. Welterweight champion Miguel Velazquez in Madrid, for the European Lightweight title. Buchanan lost a 15 round decision to Velazquez, but nevertheless, he continued his ascent towards the number one spot in the rankings by beating Tavarez in a rematch, Chris Fernandez and Brian Hudson, the latter of whom was beaten by a knockout in five in a defense of the British Lightweight title. On September of that year, Buchanan travelled to Puerto Rico, where he would meet Ismael Laguna, the world Lightweight champion, on September 26.

An affection for pigs in apparent in his work.

Kim Zmeskal - and 5th on the American team. With impressive scores of 9.912 on beam, 9.95 on vault, 9.9 on uneven bars, and a crowd pleasing 9.925 on floor, Kim rocketed into 12th place and into the all-around competition by finishing third among the American women. Her combined score of 39.687 for the night was the highest of any competitor, even Shannon Miller. Although reaching the all-around competition, Kim would falter during her floor exercise, stepping out of bounds. It would later be revealed that Kim was suffering from a stress fracture in her ankle before the Olympics began. Zmeskal however, did not use this as an excuse for her performance. Her dreams for a comeback in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympic Games would be dashed due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Krazy Kat - Arizona, Krazy Kat was strip unlike any seen in newspapers before or since. Public reaction at the time of its appearance was largely negative, due its iconoclastic refusal to conform to comic strip conventions and simple gags. But Hearst loved it, and it continued to appear in his papers throughout its run sometimes only by his direct order. It was also praised by intellectuals and critics, most notably Gilbert Seldes, who wrote a lengthy panegyric in The New Yorker calling the strip "the most satisfying work of art...in America today." In the 1920s, a stage musical based on Krazy Kat was even produced. Bill Watterson has mentioned Krazy Kat as one of his inspirations for his own cartoon series, Calvin and Hobbes. Herriman has also influenced Chris Ware, who has designed.
