John Glenn got to take another trip, so anything's possible. We seem to be at a very pro-space moment in time, so we might actually get some decent orbital infrastructure going and make trips more routine than they are now.

One of the biggest problems is jerry-rigging the ISS's original parts to work with modern tech. The first section was sent up in the 80s, remember? Hell I think the youngest part is from the 90s. Like the Space Shuttle, the ISS's computers are still running on BASIC (or worse). A major overhaul has been needed for years.

I keep listening to this. It's fucking hypnotic and just as awesome several days later.
