If air supply hadn't been a problem on the Ark,
would you have preferred to stay there considering the problems faced on the ground?

Tricky question, but I would probably say no. There are many hardships of life on the ground, but there is more freedom as well. People like Octavia Blake are allowed to exist, our resources aren't quite as limited, and we can eventually, hopefully, retool our laws to be more forgiving and less draconian. We can be a better society on Earth, if we can find a way to stop the fighting.

Cooking. I feel like a meal prepared with love can sometime rival medicine when it comes to comfort during difficult times.

No. My mother's first language was Hindi, but I sadly retained none of it.

Bliss. Being completely comfortable in my own skin. A beautiful, crowded city that looked like nothing I'd ever seen before, but had only read about in books.
