  1. Eexpers there's a reason no-one gave a shit back in the seventies until this happened and they nearly died though, drama is drama, humans need it on some level to avoid becoming bored with an experience and most of the time successful space flights and operations pass without incidents dramatic enough to BE memorable, and even when they DO happen it rarely sticks in the mind for long because they're dealt with calmly and professionally by those involved just like Apollo 13, to a non-scientific-minded man or woman in the street "about as exciting as taking a trip to Pittsburg". Now I know, you know and Nick knows full well that for all their calm, collected ways of dealing with it there's plenty of interest going on, but the fact is to someone who's not aware of any part of the situation other than what they're seeing on their TV, phone or computer screens it's BORING AS HELL a good 90% of the time, just people floating around and talking without any real 'action' to keep them invested, then and now

  2. Don't you know?! the REAL reason we haven't gone back is because of the super-fast rock-spiders
