What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe space shuttle Discovery launched the Harmony module to the International Space Station, Space.com reports.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHarmony added about twenty percent to the station's living space. Space.com says it went from a three-bedroom house to something like a five-bedroom.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's fourteen feet wide and twenty-four feet long, about the length of a minibus. And its main job is connecting other rooms.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFive connecting points, Hank. The listing writes itself: sun-filled, if you count walking through to somewhere else.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFive doors, no windows mentioned. I'd put that in the listing too.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd it was first parked on the Unity module before the permanent move. Think of it as a trial stay.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMoved twice before it ever unpacked.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe mission was first scheduled for early two thousand four. I'd call that a carefully extended pre-construction phase.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThree and a half years late, and it's a hallway the size of a minibus. I've lived in worse.
