in the realm of space exploration, there's a sacred tradition that might surprise you; astronauts fill out a special questionnaire before embarking on their journey, almost like a sacred ritual to bond them to the cosmos. earlier, one astronaut humorously included a duck in his answers, symbolizing adaptability and joy in the unknown. it’s as if each mission is a chance to start over from the beginning, carrying the essence of exploration close to their hearts, woven into the fabric of their suits.
