Parking Trouble

We can't escape it, there is even parking trouble in space. Three astronauts went around the International Space Station for a brief trip in order to clear a parking spot for a later mission."The Expedition 15 cosmonauts are slated to launch April 7 from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan with U.S. space tourist Charles Simonyi, who will return with the Expedition 14 crew on April 20. Simonyi is paying more than $20 million for his 13-day spaceflight under an agreement between Russia’s Federal Space Agency and the Virginia-based firm Space Adventures.
