Pizzutz writes"Four Toronto college students have accomplished a technological feat that their teachers are calling a first. The Humber College seniorsmade contact with the International Space Station Monday with a radio system they designed and built themselves. School officials say that, to their knowledge, that's never been accomplished by students at the college level."Somewhat disappointingly, the students actually did have permission to make contact.
