Almost on cue, the ISS's oxygen generator has shut down, but this time appears to be a bit more serious than it's usually weekly hiccup.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The astronauts aboard the international space station got their broken oxygen generator running after three tries Friday, but the machine shut down again after barely an hour of operation.

Mission Control told the two crewmen that the generator would remain off over the weekend, to give engineers time to further analyze the problem.
What do you need oxygen in space for, anyhow?
