If anyone knows how to spend long periods of time dealing with isolation it's an astronaut. What a great idea for a video with so many folks now currently sheltering-in-place .Hats off to Mike Massimino for sharing his stories, and to Wired for putting this video up.

On an irrelevant note, this is such a dad angle haha! His face is huge on the screen! This is exactly what my own dad does when he's video chatting me lol

I really, really like the sentiment: "Be mission control for someone else." I co-facilitate a NAMI peer support group and that's exactly what my role is. I'm there, listening to others, offering support and feedback--and it buoys my spirits every time. Thanks for the metaphor!
