My reply to reader: “Peace is a distant dream…”

Max running
A reader asked me: “How good is space for tranquility? For peace?”
Tranquility here comes only when you sleep in your cabin, when there is no work to do. :)

By the way, compared to Earth, muscles and the body recover faster here. In about three hours you get a good rest and return to a good condition.
For example, here I am working out at the treadmill.
You run for five kilometers, and the legs feel tired. Then you unbuckle yourself, float for a minute or two. Your muscles make you take a fetal position, your legs draw in. After a few minutes afloat you recover completely. And can go on with running.

How fantastic it must be to work out in space. Although I don't think I'm brave enough to get into those space shuttles...I'm afraid of airplanes! LOL,
I am a road cycling fanatic and bike about 50 kms everyday 6 times a week, and every three weeks I have to take 4-5 day to recover because my muscles hurt!
I love your blog and what you are doing.
Be safe. Keep blogging.

Perhaps mankind needs to relocate to a more dense planet than earth. The extra gravity will keep us too tired to fight with each other.
