Sheltering in Space

It’s been a strange trip: remembering the beginnings of COVID in Brooklyn, New York

Let’s tour the station. Even in quarantine, everyone had a job to do. While Laura telecommuted, Ken eradicated mole crickets.

Each pilot was responsible for mission success and safety, and for staying in contact with (family in) Houston.

Quarantine meals came in frozen packets, and weren’t so different from regular earth food. There was even pizza!

Grooming was hard, though, due to zero gravity, and the fact that no one owned clippers.
