I was inspired to make my own astronaut text posts with the shuttle-mir guys

@mixednotmatched​ said: He looks like he was experimented on.

He really does! But who were the experimenters, these nerds? ;)

Well, maybe Blaha’s crewmates made fun of him for wearing literal jorts in space.

Gotta say though, Blaha looks a lil’ flustered, sitting in between these Russian cosmonaut hotties. I’d sure feel flustered if I was in his place....😛

By the time Americans arrived on Mir—nearly a decade into its life—the station had become cluttered with used-up and broken equipment and floating bags of trash. During Mir’s lifetime, no adequate remedy was ever developed to deal with the stowage situation. Mir looked like a metal rabbit warren, or, as Mike Foale put it, "a bit like a frat house, but more organized and better looked after."
