    The practice of surgery is grounded in fundamental principles that ensure patient safety, procedural efficiency, and optimal outcomes. At the heart of surgical competence lies a thorough understanding of aseptic techniques, the correct use of surgical instruments, and comprehensive knowledge of human anatomy. These core components form the bedrock of every successful surgical procedure, regardless of its complexity or specialty. 
    Asepsis, or the absence of pathogenic microorganisms, is a critical concept in surgical practice. The development of aseptic techniques revolutionized surgery, dramatically reducing infection rates and improving survival outcomes. Maintaining a sterile environment involves multiple layers of precaution, starting with rigorous handwashing, proper surgical scrubbing, and the use of sterile gloves, gowns, and drapes. The operating room itself is a controlled environment where airflow systems, sterilized equipment, and strict protocols work together to minimize the risk of contamination. Every member of the surgical team plays a role in upholding these standards, as even a minor breach in sterile technique can lead to postoperative infections, delayed healing, and serious complications. 
    Equally important is the knowledge and precise handling of surgical instruments. Each instrument is designed for specific functions—cutting, clamping, retracting, or suturing—and understanding their proper use is vital for both efficiency and patient safety. Mastery of instruments such as scalpels, forceps, retractors, and needle holders allows the surgeon to perform procedures with accuracy and control. Proper instrument handling also reduces tissue trauma, minimizes bleeding, and helps maintain the sterile field. Additionally, the organization and preparation of surgical tools before, during, and after the procedure are key to smooth surgical workflows and quick response to intraoperative challenges.

    Against the backdrop of the late Cold War, a tiny American start-up company forged a secret deal to place American scientific payloads aboard the Soviet space station MIR. Born out of sheer desperation after the Challenger explosion and grounding of the United States space shuttle program, the agreement was negotiated and approved behind the backs of NASA and Congress, with the help of United States government officials inside the Commerce and Defense departments. 
     
     
     
    On a cold gray morning in February 1988, the company founder met with three graduate students and their professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to put his plans into action. Baikonur Man, written by one of those students, recounts the subsequent five-year saga of how science, comradery, hardship, drama, and occasional lunacy led to the first American experiments and payloads to fly on Russian rockets.
