    The ISS is a giant disappointment, but I always take comfort that the first person in space, Yuri Gagrin, was born on a collective farm. The first person up there was a worker, and that means the universe to me

      Hell yeah! It’s wonderful to know that a worker went to the stars and saw how united we should all be. It’s such a shame the “Space age” and all its wonder was wasted on Cold War bullshit.
