"Dyna, like space, is a fascinating marriage of stone-cold fact and the imaginative possibilities of the unknown. And both are worth exploring."

Like Jeff before her, Risa thinks I belong in space. I also will be ready to dig into some awesome space cocaine with that astro-coke spoon around my neck. She also referred to me as a "kickasstronaut" in her first set of comments.

(My scanner cut off some of the edges and dulled the shiny gold paint at the neck of the space suit)

The Cheerful Cosmonaut
Portrait of Risa Sang-urai

February 22, 2004

Soviet-era cosmonauts were never photographed in their space suits posed like this; only in military uniforms. This suit/pose is copped from an an American posed photograph of cosmonaut named Zalyotin, who is the second ugliest cosmonaut I've ever seen (#1 being Salizhan Sharipov)
