A computer virus is alive and well on the International Space Station (ISS).

Nasa has confirmed that laptops carried to the ISS in July were infected with a virus known as Gammima.AG.

The worm was first detected on Earth in August 2007 and lurks on infected machines waiting to steal login names for popular online games.

Nasa said it was not the first time computer viruses had travelled into space and it was investigating how the machines were infected.

Yes it's not the first time I have seen it on the Nasa web site a few times 
If it gets any information it's not going to be able to send it back because they do not use broadband like we do on earth.

At least my vans 230kgs under the max weight limit for the road but the ladders might cause a bit of drag though
