Astronauts are expensive government assets relative to random people with a sign.
Can you apply for political asylum aboard the International Space Station?
- number6 5y agoI would love to see this playing out: Cosmonaut applying for asylum. Obviously Russia can't arrest him in space, but where do they land? There is material for a nice movie in there.
- aeternum 5y agoCheck out "For All Mankind" on Apple TV. Although now it might hit a little too close to home.

Depending on whether it's a US or Russian vehicle, either in the ocean or Kazakhstan (which, while generally aligned with Russia, is a whole separate country and disappointed Putin by refusing a request to supply troops to support the invasion of Ukraine.)
