I can get somewhat laissez-faire about space stuff. It’s almost forty years since we went to the moon, and I’ve never been quite convinced by the utility of manned space exploration.

But every now and then something creeps up on me, building to a vertiginous moment of astonishment. These photos are the latest cause.

There are people in there. Working in space. Doing stuff.

Woah.

Crazy.
