[nitpick]
In an article on Japan's idea of hosting a traditioinal tea ceremony on the ISS: http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/0...eut/index.html it says, "The agency is working with fine arts professors and students on a plan to use a space measuring four square meters (13 square ft) in its allocated area as a tea ceremony room." Um, 4 square meters is 43 square feet, not 13.

I have emailed CNN about this. Looks like the author (a Reuters writer, not CNN) converted linear meters to feet and left it at that. That's like saying 1 square foot = 12 square inches. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
I'll post again when I get more info. Nice catch!
