Away

Jones, at his best.

Scott Kelly will soon launch into space and spend a full year on the International Space Station. Christ, that sounds terrifying. And Jones does a great job explaining exactly why that is.

 

Here's an excerpt that, for whatever reason, isn't attached the launch page:

Fascinating stuff. Worth the money. As it goes along, it'll be interesting to see how the human element develops.

 

Expecting someone will provide a link to this content for free at some point.

Happy to read it then.

 

So what, non-subscribers have to pay for it? I guess I was logged into the site when I read it this afternoon and just didn't realize it. My bad.

But yeah, definitely worth a few bucks.

 

Can't wait to read it tonight. I'm a subscriber but I bought the digital as well, to support Jones and to encourage Esquire to do more of this.

 

Anybody else having trouble actually getting to the story after paying for it? Maybe it's my old computer, but all I see is Orion slowly making its circuit.
