I guess until they retire and leave NASA we may never know. Otherwise it would be quite unprofessional of them to criticize their time there or air out the dirty laundry. The point is, they are expected to say they enjoyed every minute of i

We’ll see if they fly again or they are done with space for good. There is no way they’ll publicly complain or acknowledge issues. as it will look unprofessional, but actions will tell.

The Stasi or the KGB would have loved to install listening devices into everyone's homes, so they can monitor everyone. And here we are, people are voluntarily doing it. It's like a dream come true, just a few decades too late.

It was a large refrigeration system that killed the person I had mentioned. It's kind of odd, ammonia was used back in the day on older systems. Then it was deemed too dangerous like you mentioned. But now, due to environmental impact

Like the sibling comment mentioned it is nothing compared to ammonia. Yeah if you dump it somewhere in the ocean it might decompose with less damage to the environment but I was talking about immediate damage to humans.
