Thanks for posting this! I was wondering how the ISS crew deals with this.

I’ve found that most problems aren’t a pandemic, but when they are, you should ask an epidemiologist, not your favorite son-in-law. Living on Earth has taught me a lot about the importance of trusting the advice of people who knew more than I did about their subjects, whether it was science, engineering, medicine, or the health of the incredibly complex ecosphere that we all depend upon for survival. Especially in a challenging moment like the one we have been living through these past three years, we have to seek out knowledge from those who know the most about it and listen to them.

Was he in space for a year with a four-year-old? Because a week in three-bedroom house has shown me that the amount of space is not the important factor.

Yes, but is there a bidet fixture? Could give new meaning to “showering together”.

Apparently, if it all gets too much; they can just pop outside to walk it off.
