Blah blah _bloody clickbait_ blah. The objective reality of our world and this (Eurasian part of) its species is that we have already reached the sorry apex of our "space travel": in other words it's not getting any better or more involved or complicated, or indeed gory and dangerous than it is now. EVAR. This is it: humans (9 times out of 10, air force personnel - not scientists, not engineers) spinning safely albeit wildly, around this planet at an altitude of 350-400 kilometers in a bunch of excruciatingly expensive modules ("ISS") with artificially created 0 gravity (actual low Earth orbit gravity at that altitude is about 96-97 percent of what it is right where I, and you, sit now). .... and if anything goes wrong, the Ruskies ship them down to Earth ASAP to get operated on, or whatever. That's all. So - what was that thing about "surgery in space"? Where? When? What species might have to do it? Not _us_ - I assure you, BBC, you poor Buzzfeed competitor, you. And those people up there "in space" are, as of Nov. 30 and the latest news, being sent "caviar, fruit, and chocolate" - but no vodka? http://tass.ru/en/science/840306 http://tass.ru/en/science/840306 Eh??? I wouldn't wanna be on that "space station" when the Russian segment finds out about this conspicuous and inexplicable lack of the core "good times" component.
