Yellow Space Suits: Much Ado About Nothing


A big fuss over a trifle! 

Mainstream media tried to have everyone believe that even Russian cosmonauts joining the International Space Station had chosen to wear yellow suits with blue trim in support of Ukraine. Aw c'mon, this is simply much ado about nothing! 

In a livestreamed news conference from the ISS on Friday, veteran cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev, the mission commander, was indeed asked about the suits. 

“Every crew picks a color that looks different. It was our turn to pick a color”, he said. “The truth is, we had accumulated a lot of yellow fabric, so we needed to use it up. That’s why we had to wear yellow flight suits”. 

And on Saturday, he was quoted on Roscosmos’s Telegram channel as saying the suits had been made six months ago, and that the three cosmonauts had chosen the colors of their alma mater, Bauman Moscow State Technical University… To see the Ukrainian flag everywhere and in everything is crazy”. 

He reportedly maintained: “Color is just color. It has nothing to do with Ukraine”. 

He is on the button! Sometimes yellow is just yellow! 

Otherwise, are we going to foolishly allude that the below-mentioned products are all from manufacturers that support Ukraine? Stupid, right?
