I think anyone who can live in space for any length of time is amazing. I really enjoyed this article.

I'd appreciate the transcript as I don't listen or view podcasts. The brief introductions to each section are compelling.

I love the questions that you’re asking. For example, your place in the universe and the moral implications of space travel. Cool stuff! The Navy submariners know a lot about living in confined spaces, too. I’m passing along this article to friends who live in a Cohousing group. Even though it’s not a tin can, separated from Earth and all its activity, Cohousing felt separate from the world to me in some ways, limiting and imploding somehow. Without intentionality about goals. Those five guiding principles are good; worth seeing where else in society they might apply.

Reframing the difficulty of a spacewalk is brilliant and so easily transferable to, like, earthbound people.

I scrape by in the Nicaraguan jungle space, so controversial, lol !

It is really hard to feel I am accomplishing something when nothing or nutting is changing, ... NO LOL !

For example, getting 100 subscribers when a month ago I had 0, while two months ago I had thousands below 0 .... sorry, I am a bit perplexed, by hope, by wonder, by the whole concept.

The problem with democracy is the same as with dictatorship, my boat, my rules, obey or obey, or else. Society or humanity has not evolved much, there are still wars.

The good thing is that my totalitarian instant classic posts get spread like Covid, LOL ! I am trending on social media ....

Well, trending, if you, my dear readers, pass it along, altogether now ! Here is a little appetizer !

You have explained some things here I have always wondered about! I am a bit claustrophobic; but have often felt if left in a position in which I was not in control, the outcome might not end well! You gave some wonderful examples of how to overcome that apply in all walks of life! Thank you! Excellent article!
