220 miles strikes a balance among: protection from solar particles and radiation, carrying capacity of resupply missions, and atmospheric drag. Since newer supply rockets have a better cost-per-pound to orbit than the Space Shuttle, the ISS orbit was raised to 248 miles to cut down on the fuel required to overcome residual atmospheric drag.
Set my alarm for 5:40am - opened up my phone…there were reservations available for lunch…switched to different times at dinner, at 5:43 found the one I wanted…and the site has been spinning on Review Your Reservation since then. I think I am probably out of luck but I will sit here until something happens anyway.
Same here. I’ve had to enter my credit card information multiple times, and the reserve on my account has gone through, but the reservation still hasn’t gone through.
