NPR had Glenn Reynolds, author of Outer Space: Problems of Law and Policy on.

Interestingly enough, if a crime is committed aboard the International Space Station, prosecution would depend on which module the crime occurred in, who committed it and whom it was committed against.

A spacewalking astronaut also qualifies as a "spacecraft" under maritime law. So, an attack on a U.S. spacewalking astronaut would fall under U.S. law.

...or is there some special irony about CERT announcing a bug for IOS on Sysadmin's day?

Not much accomplished during the day. Meetings or organization of one sort or another until 3:30. And then the network was fairly sporadic. Oh, well.

Discovery from ISS via NASA

Worth seeing in high resolution for the detail of the tiles. Simply amazing. More info on the photo as well.

I missed the actual liftoff, but seeing the wide angle external tank cam below Discovery this morning was very cool, particularly when it separated from the orbiter. I'll need to go back and check later, but one of my coworkers said it was fairly impressive seeing the Florida coastline drop away during liftoff.
