“Basically, such identical, average people are selected - not very vicious, not very stupid, not very smart,” he said in response to a question about how ISS crews avoid quarrels.

Artemyev also said that it is worth going to the ISS at least in order to taste food for astronauts.
“If we didn’t work there, we would only do what we ate,” he said.
Earlier, cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov said that in conditions of weightlessness, Russian cosmonauts sleep more comfortably than on Earth.
