    Didn’t the use to put the astronauts into quarantine for a few days prior to launch. It avoids hangovers and the flu, in space.

    I mean I’d imagine the launch is quite a sobering experience. Might actually be a good thing to pre-game to relax a bit considering your strapped to a controlled bomb.

      Yes, but he’s also Russian which disqualifies this fact as extraordinary.

      A rocket like that has almost zero pilot control.

      In fact, for the longest time, astronauts were 100% payload. Now they’re 99% payload.
