Zvezda construction was actually started *35* years ago, and it has been in space for 20 years. It’s showing its age.
Hurtle yourself through the icy vacuum of space on a craft constructed by a system that never mastered the Lada or toilet paper.

Yep, 20 years in space and its a junkpile.
Not to worry, the Chinese will be launching their shiny new tin can space station up in a year or two, then they will own the high ground.
Maybe we can buy rides with them.
