Depressed Astronauts Might Get Computerized Solace

alphadogg writes "Clinical tests on a four-year, $1.74 million project for NASA, called the Virtual Space Station, are expected to begin in the Boston area by next month. The effort is designed to address the onset of depression in astronauts while they are in outer space. In the project, sponsored by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, a recorded video therapist guides astronauts through a widely used depression therapy called 'problem-solving treatment.'" Here's a related story from a few weeks ago. Those astronauts got it rough.

"But don't let a lack of reading comprehension..."

Three things

1. That bolded part is wrong. I know what you meant from the beginning, it was just wrong. It is perfectly possible to kick with just willpower, stop assuming you're right because you aren't smart enough to parse the argument.

2. It's "irrelevant" not "irreverent", so save your assessment of my reading comprehension Mr. Merriam-Webster.

3. "I'm sure to you spouting off is a bit of an addition in itself" is neither grammatically correct nor contextually relevant.

So, if you plan to criticize reading comprehension, make sure your composition isn't at the level of a 1st grader. However, that seems to be the level you at which you operate so perhaps you simply have no choice.

Someday an AC will post and not make a total as of itself.

Someday perhaps, but not today.
