It Must Really Be Boring in Outer Space
Photos From Space: What Astronaut Clay Anderson Is Reading, SpaceRef
Editor’s note: “It is getting harder and harder to find interesting things in the photos sent back from the ISS. Not only are there fewer internal photos being sent back these days, but someone is clearly screening them so as to not let anything interesting slip through. I am told that Mike Griffin’s favorite communications guru Marsha Ivins used to do this screening personally.”
Reader Comments: “Regarding your last commentary – Clay has a daily trivia quiz that he does with MCC-Houston and (I think) the POCC at Goddard for fun. Apparently that’s where he gets his questions from.”
“Right after Clay arrived at ISS, he started a ritual of asking ground controllers in Houston and Huntsville trivia questions, getting the answer the following day. He apparently uses the book to get the questions and answers.”
