A Joke or Bad Reality TV

Yet it's happening and I do sincerely wish them Godspeed even if it is only a shot down range.

Oh boy. That's going to be one noisy trip.

I caught a couple of the celebrity interviews after the landing. I had no idea who the "celebrities" were. It turns out Lauren Sanchez is Jeff Bezos' fiancee, and Gayle King hosts the CBS morning show. Who knew? I don't follow celebrities and I don't get up early enough to watch morning shows. Between Sanchez, King, and the female interviewer, there was enough plastic surgery to pay for some very nice boats. However, I have to admit that the views of the just-landed capsule sitting in the middle of the west Texas desert were pretty cool.

No longer takes brains to go to space, only money. The crew that opened the door should have rode horses and worn ape suits.

That would be a hoot! But with the generation they are in, I don't think they would get the reference.

"Get your damn dirty ape hands off me!"

Classic Charlton Heston! Truly one of the greats.

Cargo

Unless they actively operated the craft they are just cargo.

It really kinda chapped my you know what. They are called astronauts and crew. There are baggage or vacationers, nothing more. They did nothing. To call them astronauts or anything of the sort is doing a dishonor to real astronauts. If I take a flight, am I called a back seat pilot? Did I do anything other than sit my butt in a seat and go along for the ride. Please.

"All female crew"
How sexist of them.

Yes, all crammed into something that looks like a... oh never mind.

If you watched the interviews after, Gayle King corrected the interviewer and said she was not an astronaut.

Can't speak for the others but I think they realize that.

Would still be cool to do it but clearly past my price point.

They were passengers on a big,oh never mind

May the Schwartz be with you.

Just imagine the amount of money!

Even if I could afford it, I'd never do it.
