    Hello List,
    
    I've been thinking, and I'm curious about other people's thoughts:
    The Destiny module is a cilinder of some 3 to 4 meters in diameter and 10? 
    meters long (I'm guessing here, couldn't find it on the net). As far as I 
    know there isn't much attached to it on
    the outside, making it a good reflector.
    With this in mind, could Destiny produce flares or glints?
    
    I have no idea if this is really going to happen when it is attached to the 
    ISS, but it might be
    worth thinking about.
    
    Regards,
    	Cees Bassa
