    If I was an astronaut, knowing that this is likely the only time I’ll be in space ever, I don’t think I’d be mad at staying longer.

      I would be mad.

      I just don’t really think that the ISS is such a nice place to be.

      It would be absolutely amazing to be lucky enough to visit there for a few weeks.

      By that time though it would start to get old.

      It’s not exciting space exploration - it’s being stuck in a smelly can in zero-g.
