...good reason: the technicians on the ground ate it all. The Russian space agency has been running on fumes since the end of the cold war, but never more so than in the past few years.

[The therapist] said, "Would you like me to laugh at that?" and I said, "Not if you can help it." That's pretty much how I feel about therapy and comedy. I know it sounds like it makes...
