The space station's huge new Japanese lab got even bigger Friday when the astronauts attached an attic to it for extra storage. The attic essentially a 14-foot shed, or closet, for spare tools and equipment was popped atop the 37-foot Kibo science laboratory by astronauts operating the international space station's robot arm.
