The Importance of Space Travel
i had quite a funny reaction to this story because i read this article and i was trying to think of you know what can i say about this story that's sort of fun and interesting. The whole article is just a long list of all the ways in which astronauts are sort of like their immune system falls apart as soon as they get out there. Then i started getting angry about it because these guys aren't key workers and in lockdown we weren't clapping for astronauts outside our houses every day. And then after i've been through those sort of extremes of emotion of like extremely sad and then extremely angry about it i realize actually i just feel quite neutrally about the whole story.
