Sending hugs. Won't change much of the world, but maybe they can make everything a little bit brighter 😀

@LunaDragofelis I’ve been trying to get someone’s attention for years. I have my towel and everything!

Fun fact: there are 6 people in space right now, so 0.000000079% of humans are temporarily free from all of this nonsense.

ngl, being is space must be worse because not only do you worry about the stormshit in the world

but you're reliant on it not getting too bad or you'll just stop existing

Wouldn’t even be the first time. Cosmonauts were stranded on Mir when the Soviet Union fell.

Eventually, yes. I forget the whole story, but they were stuck there for quite a while. I think it’s still among the longest durations any humans have spent in orbit.

Oh damn; I can't even begin to imagine the kind of stress in that situation >.<

I wouldn’t be too concerned, only 3 people have ever been consumed by the snapping, sucking maw of The Void. Decompression is a fucking horrifying way go, though.

Well. Kind of.

‪Earth’s thermosphere, the second outermost layer of the atmosphere, has an altitude of roughly 100-600 km. The ISS orbits at an altitude of 408 km, which is still inside Earth’s atmosphere.‬

‪This space station isn’t actually in space at all. False advertising. ‬

It's kind of both, isn't it? Like Voyager leaving the solar system every couple of years depending on who's definition you apply.
