Dear KR folks,
Please forgive the self-ref...
Yesterday I had the honor of meeting Astronaut Garrett Reisman.
As some of you may know, I'm the curator of the ENIAC, the world's first computer. Last year, Dr. Reisman requested we lend him a small bit of the ENIAC to go with him for six months as he spent the summer aboard the International Space Station. We gave him a knob, he went up and later returned. Yesterday was the "re-attachment" ceremony. More pictures from the re-attaching can be found at:

Dr. Reisman is also noteworthy for his appearance on The Colbert Report on May 8, 2008:

It was a heck of a day.

So does the knob still work? 
But seriously, the whole process must have been cool! Good for you!
