The conops for this doesn’t make sense to me. Not only is it in a weird orbit but after the first lunar landing, which will have two astronauts, the rest will have four. With all 4 crew members on the lunar surface who will be working on ga

What are your favorite games? I’ve enjoyed super hot and beat saber. Those two have been the most compelling so far. Do you recommend some others?

To add to this it’s not only cosmonauts assigned to this soyuz it’s 2 Russians and 1 American. Doesn’t change making the right decision for protecting crew but may add complexity if Roscosmos is confident in the Soyuz for returning crew but

I’ve been using Cryptomator for a few months now. Very happy with it. Closest to “main stream” file encryption tool that I’ve used. Confident anyone in my family could use it without much instruction.

Couldn’t have said it better. This was the same experience I had. Unfortunately a lot of the bad press came from examples of people who signed up and agreed to Griddy’s terms (which were super straightforward) and then acted as if they were
