One of those Americans up on the ISS right now is going to have a hell of a memoir someday. The conversations must be downright strange.

I took an astronomy class with a professor who used to work for NASA. She liked to talk about leaving because they ended up wasting more time with symbolic political bullshit than they spent doing actual science. She was a bit bitter.

I imagine everyone up there knows how it goes.
