NASA is actually [a href="vny!://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/11/09/space.shuttle.ap/index.html"]avoiding having a Shuttle in Space over New Years[/a].
It says "The worry is that shuttle computers aren't designed to make the change from the 365th day of the old year to the first day of the new year while in flight. NASA has never had a shuttle in space December 31 or January 1. "We've just never had the computers up and going when we've transitioned from one year to another," said Discovery astronaut Joan Higginbotham. "We're not really sure how they're going to operate."

You have got to be kidding me. They can fling a rover somewhere in the direction of Mars and somehow hit it, model how the sun works, and take pictures of the center of the galaxy, but we don't know what will happen when the shuttle computer moves from "2006" to "2007"?
Lol, "1999 called, and it wants its computer problems back"
