Cape Canaveral (Florida): With astronauts hustling inside and out, the international space station got its biggest live-in addition yet, a Japanese lab stretching 37 feet that opens for business on Wednesday. Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide had the honor of installing the billion-dollar lab, named Kibo, which means "hope', just as two crewmates were winding up a spacewalk on Tuesday. He used the space station's robot arm to nudge the bus-size lab into place.
