They Sent Valentina To Open A Door That Wasn't There. Then They Asked Us To Be Grateful.

The official line is that MSC-002 was a "successful EVA demonstration with attached station program review." The actual events are these: KerbalX built a station with the wrong port. NASA approved it. Valentina Kerman went outside, in vacuum, alone, on the end of a tether, to verify, by hand, with her hand, that an entire orbital outpost had been built incorrectly.

"A program that calls a wrong door a 'review' is a program with a wrong door."

The press will tell you it ended well. It ended well because Commander Kerman is the best pilot this planet has produced and because R-SLS2 was, on the day, a working spacecraft. It did not end well because of NASA's process. It ended well in spite of it.

God save Kerbin. God save Valentina. And God help the spec engineer at KerbalX who wrote 47.0 instead of 47.5.
