Unpleasant surprises

Every few months, a Progress robotic spacecraft (it's basically an automatic Soyuz without the living space or re-entry module) visits the ISS, with supplies.

An owl would be far better.

I expect NASA and Roscosmos to give me 10% of the revenue from the hit reality TV show which results from this.
