I thought this but have since changed my mind. On board, real humans tax life-support systems in a way that’s difficult to simulate. And real human astronauts garble processes and communications with ground control in ways that a nation that hasn’t done deep spaceflight in a generation could probably do with practice on.
- BurningFrog 7mo agoI half agree. It is new and important. But it's hard, at least for me personally, to get really excited about it...
- WalterBright 7mo agoI thought the various space stations were there to develop & test life-support systems long term?

I was wrong. We have never flown this deep-space life-support system on the ISS together. In parts, yes. But that doesn’t substitute for a real mission. As for simulations, how would you rate your experience from a role play versus the real deal?
