Actually, operational control shifts from Mission Control-Moscow to Mission Control-Houston whenever a shuttle launches from Cape Canaveral. This time, though, the shift may be permanent.

Electricity generated by 240-foot solar paneled "wings" installed in December will now power most of the station. And Destiny carries the computers that will drive four...
Both Israelis and Palestinians should accept the further compromises necessary to begin a viable, lasting peace. There is a tiny window of opportunity left, where these compromises are still, just, politically feasible. It takes courage, but both sides must move now to finalize a peace deal.
