How Astronauts Get Along

Today I listened to a talk about how astronauts get along in space.  I think this is an interesting topic that through the programme's precise and niche analysis of astronaut behaviour actually overlaps a wider discourse of how people get along at work.  Although, of course, for an astronaut the social interaction with colleagues is hugely intensified by being away from home in a confined environment for long periods of time.  

This talk from NASA insightfully presents the problem whilst touching on their approach to it, and if anything left me intrigued to find out more. NASA has an extensive archive of not only podcasts but articles and images too, for you to explore the stellar depths of space from the comfort of planet Earth!
