    It's gonna be awhile before we can spend any extended amount of time in near zero grav. Our technology will be ready far sooner than our bodies will be. Evolving under certain conditions makes it quite difficult to make such a drastic change so quickly. Unfortunately.

    Just look at what the guys on the ISS go through. And it's a pretty short stay.

    Right? Every time I see video from out there, it makes me want to be an astronaut.

    He brought a guitar to the space station? How the heck did he pack that?

    There's 2 of them up there now. One is the ISS pass around, and one is a super light no framer. Pretty cools stuff. that guitar is still up there, floating around in micro gravity.

    I really wonder what it would sound like live inside the ISS. I bet it has sweet tone.
    FWIW, that acoustic he plays in the vid is a Laravee and they're made in Canadastan.
    The no framer is an ovation I think.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    They have a specific size/weight of personal items they can bring with them and/or have delivered during re-stock.


    A private is building a station for 500 million right now. If you only knew what NASA spent on theirs!!!

    I love NASA, but MAAAAN they have some redundancies they need top deal with. At least the 2013's seem to be relatively on schedule.
