It amazes me how few deaths we have actually had IN Space compared to the amount of deaths as a result of trying to get there.

Getting there seems to be the hardest part. After that it's a lot of floating around, shitting by vacuum hose and eating your humus out of a toothpaste tube. It's freakin' heaven.

The soviets seem to have lost more guys in space, while the Americans seem to lose more while trying to get there.

Which really says something considering Russia's space program employed industrial rivets and bailing wire.

...and the hummus in the toothpaste tube? They used that to seal the leaks.

Don't get me started on Cold War Soviet design defects. I would be here all afternoon. I could write a book about those numnuts. Not an artist among them because of course Stalin and his ilk had all the artists and designers killed.

And I think the Russians lost a lot of men getting to space as quick as they did, technologically speaking. I think Gregarin was just the one who made it back alive first.
