Thanks to everyone who responded, there is a mountain of information
about it! I think it is one of the best pieces of space debris that I
have ever bought! The more I look at it, the more fascinated I am that
it was orbiting overhead most of my lifetime, and now it is in my dining
room!
I see on the space station diagram that there were only 5 of these tanks
aboard. Three are accounted for to my knowledge. WE still have 2 to
recover! As they are titanium, they are likely about the only parts to
survive the spectacular reentry!

Is anyone interested in acquiring this piece?
Mike
