She just beat out thousands of competitors, both men and women, in tests which include, I'd imagine, health. Extremely rigorous health tests. You see, they don't want people dying out in space. Tough to replace them out there. And you still think she needs to lose weight? Good luck finding the right skele...errrr, woman. Origami, you think she needs to lose weight?

They seem connected but the whole issue is really leaving the Earth. Is "went crazy on some chicken the day before" code? If it isn't code, then ...? Which would be better/worse? Hang in there.

Is “went crazy on some chicken the day before” code? If it isn’t code, then …? Which would be better/worse? Hang in there.

If you consider all of it a waste of time, then that's a different debate to be had, but if you just think "the rest of the solar system" is more important, then everyone behind the ISS would agree with you. That's a major reason it's been built, besides the pursuit of pure scientific research itself. And thanks for the many comments - Soyeon's read them all, and normally she'd reply to some (she's quite the blogger, actually - check her out over on www.daeso.net), but she barely has time to pee by herself these days. Working hard on Episode 2, although I went crazy on some chicken the day before and was down for a day, whcih is delaying things. On to more editing!

It makes it easier to understand her. She reminds me -- and this is a compliment -- of really good language teachers who know how to keep things simple and clear for low-level students. I wonder if she is aware that everytime she mentions a number she puts up the same number of fingers, and that she uses her hands to act out the verbs she mentions. I'm curious if that's her natural style, or if she made a conscious choice to explain things that way in order to help foreigners' understanding. I notice that she talks a lot with her hands.

We're really slipping.
