      For most astronauts, the worst is coming home! Of course, they miss their family and friends, but they DO love it up there. How do I know? Because they all jump at the next chance to go… 🙂

      In terms of bad things, Fire and Loss of Air are the big concerns. We do lots of training to prevent and deal with such events. So far, the long life of the ISS (over 15 years!) has seen no major problems. Fingers crossed x
