Some day, robots called (AstroBots) will have to accompany the Astronauts to be a reliable partner for all our extreme steps in exploring the universe. All the best - dear Astronauts, We all are proud of you and your family.

Anyone mind describing to me what it is that they tie in a knot in their suits? I know it's a bladder of some sort, but that seems a little odd to rely on a knot to contain vital life support...Thanks :D

[@yemo34]

I love the fact Russia can still send people to space. and with the vast resources of the United States. we can't do that anymore.

[@SuperSMT]

[@theothertoolbox]

Nothing like having to use a shitty Russian taxi to fly US "astronauts" into space. Russia doesn't even like the USA. LOL

[@crack_lag651]

There's no country in space :]

[@theothertoolbox]

CRACK_LAG Not yet. The government(s) of the Earth countries don't have enough folks in space to start charging them tax - YET. Mark my words, as soon as there are enough folks out there, they'll figure out a way to draw borders and start charging tax.
