Can’t believe they forgot these things all way long… there was neither Internet access nor a “panorama deck” on the ISS where you can watch earth through some windows.. How do they manage without going nuts???

I like it already!

I can finally start applying for a job, there! They will need a firewall and a network admin, not?
