Over/under on how many times do you think they’re all going to get tested for Covid?
Valid point. I obviously didn't know any of that as a kid, only later.....but yeah, thats beyond cold.

Yep, according to Wikipedia he was the Supe starting her 3/C year.
NASA increased the pre-launch quarantine to around 6-7 weeks a few months ago, instead of the typical two weeks. Plus, they cut out the tradition of laying flowers at Yuri Gagarin’s grave prior to launch.
