| Oct 12, 2018 at 20:16 | comment | added | Michael Seifert | @Strawberry: To be fair, fourth-generation Soyuz capsules (in service since 1986) have a similar safety record to the Space Shuttle. Consulting this list, modern Soyuz capsules have now had three major launch/landing mishaps (none of which were fatal) out of 66 launches. In contrast, STS had two fatal accidents and about five serious malfunctions during launch/landing, out of 135 launches. Surprisingly, strapping yourself to the top of a can full of combustible chemicals involves a certain amount of risk. | |

Fix grammar, make phrases more idiomatic, make title more descriptive, change "Soviet" to "Russian"

It was built mainly by USA and Russia with contributions of multiple other countries. The whole ISS consists of two sections by ownership: Russian Orbital Segment and US Orbital Segment. | |

| Oct 11, 2018 at 11:45 | comment | added | Happy Koala | If I were you, I would read Chris Hadfield's A Guide to Life on Earth... When he first wanted to become an astronaut, it was all but impossible as Canada didn't have an astronaut corps or any means of getting people into space, but he decided the best he could do was to prepare as well as he could, and if the opportunity would arise, he would be ready to seize it. Truly inspirational book, and even more so for you, I would imagine :). | |
