Sometimes I’m surprised that humans live on Novaya Rodina at all.  Historically, it all makes sense of course.  It is the fourth of five habitable worlds, assuming flexible definitions of the term, in the Alpha Centauri Trinary star system, so of course we went there.  And the Russians do have a rather flexible definition of the term habitable compared to the rest of us.  They actually claim to like the world.  Of course, they also claim to like Siberia.
