Computer Problems Imperil International Space Station

Computers aboard the ISS went wonky yesterday.

Russian scientists overnight had re-established a link to the computers- which among other things- control the station's atmosphere.

America's space shuttle Atlantis is still docked to the station and it's stay in space will be furthered more.

If the astronauts can't get the space station's oxygen issue resolved- the 3 people on the station will have to return to Earth on Atlantis.

Hopefully- Atlantis' thermal blanket was fixed properly and re-entry will be non-eventful.
