Venera 7. I still find it hard to believe someone survived it but let's suppose someone did.

They lost a lot of oxygen when the spacecraft was being depressurized and later when incinerated. If there's someone alive in there, the best chances for them to not run out of air is if at least one of them died so they have one less body to consume oxygen.

If so, Chadha 100% survived because she is needed to keep the life-support system.

We need at least one pilot to make the spacecraft return to earth so the second slot it's either Sasha or Valya. The other one is probably dead.

I'm a non-native english speaker so it must be part of the reason but when I heard Strawberry Fields Forever for the first time, there's a line where I thought John said "[...] No one I think is in my tree,
I mean, it must be hiding alone (high or low) [...]". I spent a long time listening this way so even today, I automatically listen "hiding alone" and I have to focus to hear "high or low" :p

Have you guys ever had similar funny misunderstandings in other songs? Like you were sure they said something else until you eventually looked at the lyrics?

She's erased parts of two of her Mironov tapes. If the KGB relisten to the tapes to try to find clues of where Valya or Tanya went to, they might notice that the damaged parts are in oddly convenient placement, both during conversations between Irina and Tanya. Two times is not conclusive proof for tape tampering but it does raise suspicion, especially in these soviet times.

Just to be clear, I don't blame anyone about my height: it is what it is and I just wish to accept it and move on. What I'm going to write is a rambling of what has been in my mind for months.

Here's some context: I'm 25. I think the average men where I live is around 5'9 and I think most women I see in daily life are around my height, give or take. During my whole life, I was somehow oblivious about all of this and I just thought I was slightly short but ever since I discovered all of this talk about height on the internet, which was around 6 months ago, my life changed and not for the better: I've started seeing height everywhere.

I've started to notice that the men, especifically the heroic or romantic characters, in movies, shows and videogames are always significantly taller than me. I never see men around my height in those types of roles.

I've started to notice people around me, in real life, casually talking bad about short men and good about tall men. It's very blink and you will miss it because no one in the conversation bats an eye or verbally disagrees. This made me wonder what people think about my height, consciously or subconsciously but never say it to my face.

I've started to compare my height to other people I see. I've realized I'm the shortest man in my main group of friends, by inches. I die a little everytime I see teenagers who are already taller than me and who will surely grow some more. I'm kind of jealous they will never have to think about this and I just wish I was in their feet.

I've started to realize I have a shorter dating pool since height seems non-negotiable for a lot of women. This is only a problem because this shorter dating pool has an even shorter pool with women who would theoretically be compatible with me. The chances of me finding them are not good (not that I'm looking for a relationship since I'm clearly not well right now for one).

I don't even want to be tall, I just wish I was average or close to average so I could reason myself out of this mind trap. This is becoming very unhealthy and I'm seriously hoping for advice here.

Jenni was backup crew in Artemis 2 together with Andre Douglas who will now fly in Artemis 3. Now, being a backup crew member doesn't garantee a seat in upcoming missions, as a matter of fact, some Apollo astronauts trained and never flew, but it surely improve the chances.

If we assume only one seat for international astronauts, she might have a chance to be in Artemis 4, unless it's already reserved for JAXA, or Artemis 5, which I think it's more likely.

In another post, I wondered why the Venus missions are never mentioned in For All Mankind, which makes me think something will surely go wrong.

In Episode 3, we see that Chief Designer's plans come really close to being discovered by Colonel Raskova.

In the same episode, we learn that Valya is being blackmailed into sabotaging the soviet missions. If he discloses this to his wife, which he might, especially because she suspects he's having an affair, there's a good chance the conversation could be recorded by Irina, and then it's game over for him (Yana was interrogated, then killed for far less). We also haven't seen Valya in For All Mankind yet, so as far as we know, he doesn't have plot armor. Very dangerous position.

Oh, and most importantly, he also happens to know about the Venus missions! He might spill the beans by purpose or by accident, during an interrogation or on a tape.

My guess? The missions will eventually be exposed to the Soviet authorities however, aside from being monitored and later blackmailed (and the latter was only because of Margo), Sergei doesn't seem to be in particularly bad standing with them as much as he should. I could see the show mirroring Margo and Aleida's storyline from Season 4, with the Chief Designer taking the blame in order to protect Sergei and keep him out of trouble about these missions.

Unless I'm forgetting something, I'm pretty sure we would have heard about these missions in For All Mankind, and perharps the US side would even compete in it as well, because they would be a pretty big deal but there are no mentions about them. Why? They didn't happen? They remained secret? They were short-lived? What do you think happened?

Edit: I meant "might attempt" in the title.

Just to be clear, I'm neither American nor Chinese and I don't think the "first in the race" narrative is particularly important in the grand scheme of things even if being first can help secure funding and political support (it's a great PR move).

Well, the US put the first man on the moon and nothing will take away this achievement however, technically speaking, the milestone of landing the first woman on the moon is still available to get.

Let's say China's crewed lunar program continues to progress as steadly as the Chang'e robotic missions and somehow they go to the moon before Artemis 4, do you think they might choose to assign a woman taikonaut to their first landing mission? That way, they would not only get boots on the ground but also claim the distinction of putting the first woman on the lunar surface.
