    Yahoo-Reuters article:

"The International Space Station ... was left unable to steer 
in space on Wednesday after an unexplained problem with a 
ground-based computer in Moscow, but astronauts were able to 
use jets on the space shuttle Discovery ..., which was docked 
there, to maintain stable flight.

"The cause of the problem had not been identified, but NASA 
... said it hoped the station would resume attitude control 
by Thursday morning."

Etc.
