*beginning of a telling, and chilling, excerpt from the article, for
fair use and public knowledge

The lone American on board, Gregory Chamitoff, was inside the Soyuz
for the entire six-hour spacewalk in case an emergency required the
two Russians to join him in the capsule. Chamitoff took books, music
and a laptop computer with him to while away the time, and could hear
everything that was going on.

*end         of exce rpt from the article, for fair use and public
knowledge

Yeah, the American just got to hang around inside and wile away inside
the Space Staton, while others did the real work.  Sure, some might
argue that it was the Russians' work to do, since it was their space
vehicle, but that argument would seem a bit infantile and vain.

Let's see, it's their craft, they're best trained on it.  Yeah, I think it's
far from an infantile and vain argument.

I'd like to know why you think otherwise.

Vain? Er, FYI, subliterate goober, an argument cannot be "vain." Read and
learn, goober. Or, better yet, have someone read it for you and explain it
to you using only very short words you have at least some chance of
comprehending.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vain

Also FYI, sparky, the vast majority of people, and all of those with thumbs,
don't consider FACTS to be infantile. Just so you know...

Not to mention, you stupid motherf..ker, did you see this, from the very
same story you cite?

"Spacewalkers Sergei Volkov and Oleg Kononenko managed, in the end, to
safely disconnect the bolt from the Soyuz capsule that will be their ride
home this fall. They immediately slid it into a blast-proof container."

So, your point, you stupid motherf..ker, is you think the lone American, who
has ZERO knowledge of or experience with that particular Soyuz capsule and
will never fly in it, should have been out there fixing that which he knows
entirely not sh.t about instead of the astronauts TRAINED FOR YEARS on Soyuz
and who will actually be flying it home?

Are you really THAT f.cking stupid?

As difficult as it is to fathom, yes, it's entirely possible, even likely,
that you are.

Forget about rocket science, sparky. It jess ain't the raght feeled for
strategical-type jeans-yes like  yooza...

He got you chickened out, didn't he?  You ever thought of being a
space station astronaut, Hans?  You would fit right in, fella, after
you dropped, what I well imagine, is an extra 75 pounds or so!

Wow, you really told me this time, boy, howdy!

Such style! Suck wit! Such well crafted prose and pithy bon mots! Such
inescapable logic and carefully crafted rhetoric!

I particularly enjoyed how you cleverly you quoted even the sig file,
allowing it to speak for itself rather than muddying up things with a
traditional inline response, or anything else providing a clue as to
context...

<snicker>

So, your point, genius, is over there in Subliteratemoronville, one must
weight 85 lbs or less to be an astronaut? Or is your point that you're a
moron?

FYI, the 1st seems a bit dubious, but the 2nd comes through loud and
clear...

Erm, surely these two had already done a lot of familiarisation on the
ground in case of this contingency  as even then  they all knew there might
be a problem.

I don't get all the whinging.

The word I think you were searching for, hoity toity Brian Gaff, when
you said 'whinging'
is 'whining'.  just like you brits have been doing since 1776, when
the outcasts of England
took your sh.t from you!

Tsk, tsk, tsk, boy......  really now, ol' bean!  pip, pip, ol' chap!

However as a matter of idle interest. Note that one doesn't have to be
of Anglo Saxon origin like Smith or McGee to be a United Statesian.
One can be a Chamitoff and be United Statesian. Which might be a
detail that just might subliminally affect the other two cosmonauts.

In Russia, and most other parts of the world, they don't have hordes
of ambulance chasers to come to the
rescue, nor is everything expected to be wrapped in padding. In fact,
America used to be like this, and if the likes
of Bu$h and his cronies, and the corporations and wall street manage
to tank the economy, we may be back in that
position, simply because no one will be able to afford one of these
lawyers and most business establishments would be able to afford the
payout (no getting blood from a rock, sorry). Don't get me wrong,
companies often do stupid things and need their a.ses sued off, but
the sue sue sue everybody has been way out of control for some time
now.

That should be "would NOT be able to afford"

Um, FYI, in Russia, and most other parts of the world, they don't have ANY
attorneys in the space program.
