Original post is 7 years old and its as true now as it was 7 years ago. Space missions are borderline impossible. Yes, some people can stick it out and have the hand eye coordination of a navy seal, but for most of us, this part of the game is a wreck. Its cute, and its fun to try periodically to see if you can get lucky. But that's all it is. You run the same mission about 20-25 times and the right series of coincidences will take place and you'll win. Most of the time, you just die, rinse, repeat.
