International Space Station Sucks
from the that's-not-good dept
Astronauts aboard the international space station say that life sucks there. It sounds as though very little thought was put into a lot of things. American appliances couldn't plug in to Russian outlets. They didn't have enough supplies (ran out of shampoo, had to use chili sauce to as a cleaning gel), velcro pads worked too well (everything stuck to them), a DVD player screen was too small (too small for what?), and best of all - that computer they were supposed to use to record when things broke? It broke.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
