Do todays astronauts feel that space flight is becoming routine?
No, it’s not routine, it might look like routine, because we have more and more flights, and they happen well, it’s a good thing, and we build the space station, and it goes well, but it’s not routine. That’s also why we spend so many months, kind of one year, training for each mission, we work the crew members trying to work on average about 70 hours a week; if it were routine, we would just train half a day and go there, but we are not there.
