i’ll see your space australians and raise you: space eastern europeans.

• like space australians, but comically deadpan
• ‘there was a critical systems failure and now we’re dead in space! we need to evacu–’ *chief engineer antonov thumps control panel with fist* ‘oh, we’re. we’re okay.’
• someone has either pickled a vegetable or distilled alcohol in a container that was intended for neither, in zero gravity
• there’s a little old lady on this crew. nobody knows why. nobody suspects she’s the head of an espionage network either
• *exasperated muttering over comms line during repair eva* ‘what’s that?’ ‘i said this thing has ‘made in usa’ written on it and no fucking wonder *deliberately heavy accent* exkyooz my language’
• improvised electrical device breaks safety regulations in 72 systems. ‘what? it woks.’
• somebody is talking about The Revolution. ‘andrei please that was 2723 years ago’ ‘my father fought in it’
• ‘here’s a good one: is it possible to introduce communism in the frozen world of OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb?’ confused alien: ‘i don’t know?’ ‘in principle yes, but after the first five year plan they would have to import ice’
• the trabant, but now it’s a space ship
