The ISS International Space Station is full of floppy disks

The International Space Station ( Space Station – ISS) obviously needs tidying up and cleaning, as a quantity of floppy disks was found, of the 1990s.

European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst, who now resides on the ISS, has discovered a treasure trove of floppy disks stacked in one of the International Space Station's lockers.

The ISS, already 20 years old as it had its birthday on November 20, still seems to keep the old obsolete technology in its cupboards. The astronaut Gerst tweeted an image from his ancient technological find, adding the following: "I found a locker in @Space_Station that probably hadn't been open for a long time".

Παρατηρώντας καλύτερα την φωτογραφία του Gerst βλέπουμε ότι μία από τις δισκέτες περιέχει το Norton's Utilities για Windows 95/98 !!!! Επίσης κάποιες άλλες από τις δισκέτες πιθανότατα αναφέρονται στους πρώην αστροναύτες Shepherd and Sergei Krikalev, who were crew members in 2000, during the first manned ISS mission Expedition 1.
