  • What an ignorant, elitist, prejudiced, and egocentric statement. An "all work and no play" approach to space exploration is most likely detrimental to the psyche of an astronaut, regardless of his or her nationality. Besides, I'm sure that all of the videos of them actually working are deemed far too boring for youtube.

  • The video quality is too bad to tell what's happening.
