Burning Both Ends of a Space Candle

  • According to Nasawatch, 27 percent candles won't lit even though Russian specialists say it is more like 20 percent.
  • There are 82 candles remaining which gives us about 22 candles that won't lit.
  • 60 candles are left to insure enough oxygen inside the International Space Station.
  • 2 candles are used every day.
  • There are only 30 days left.
  • Today is May 30th.
  • 30 days from now is June 29th (Even using the figure of 20 percent will buy four days)
  • The next Shuttle scheduled to go up will do so no earlier than July 13th.
    So the question is: will the International Space Station be mothballed for a minimum of fifteen days until the next Shuttle comes in ?
