Yall on Earth might be fighting your petty squabbles, but astronauts and cosmonauts are above it all. Quite literally too, we might add. NASA and its Russian civilian space agency counterpart, Roscosmos, have forged a strong cooperative bond in the modern era, despite their Cold War-era space race rivalry. “It doesn’t appear that we are affected by what’s going on diplomatically with the Russians,” said Al Sofge, director of NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations Division. “I don’t know that we’ve ever even discussed it.” Theyre really just too busy doing science! And exploring space! And our silly Earth-bound fights over sovereignty, territory and finances seem so insignificant by comparison. Some have even suggested nominating the multinational International Space Station for a Nobel Peace Prize for just how well they all get along and get science done.
