I laughed at the "citation needed" after the statement In both cases, the comparison doesn’t really make sense; both the ISS and the US highway system are used for things other than making music videos.

Holy crap. The guy speaks fluent Russian.

CF-18 pilot
Mechanical Engineer (Masters degree)
Astronaut
Musician
Linguist

Wonder what he'll choose to do next?


(Oh, did I mention, the composer of humankind's first ever Space Shanty?)
