No thank you

Photo: Chandan Khanna/AFP via Getty Images Do you like camping? Yes? Would you like to go camping, but without gravity or hot food? This is how the civilians currently in space have described their expected experience for the three days they orbit around Earth.

At a pre-launch press conference the day before blastoff, Isaacson said, “We’re very aware of how lucky we are,” which is … one way of putting it. Another way is: Space life sucks, actually. Life aboard Crew Dragon sounds miserable. Sian Proctor, the geoscientist who also happens to be the first ever Black female spacecraft pilot, revealed that her comfort food of choice for the mission would be … cold pizza. She continued, “Food and mood are so important.

After consuming the sad cold space pizza, the civilians can decompress in Crew Dragon’s cupola, a little glass observation bubble at the top of the spacecraft that is also the spacecraft’s toilet. Hmm. The crew is also keeping a few pieces of merch in its custody, namely a bunch of art to later be auctioned on Earth and 66 pounds of hops that Sam Adams will then turn into space beer and sell. They are also responsible for keeping an NFT of a Kings of Leon song safe.

Who knew 🙄🙄🙄

Have to first see whether the State Department has a travel advisory warning for space.

I’m a nerd. I would love to go to space. Sounds amazing to me tbh

You have zero imagination, creativity or sense of adventure. It’s actually kind of sad. Especially since cold pizza is what you find the most offensive.

Stuck in a claustrophobic tin can for how many hours? No thanks.

Ssssshhhh let nature work its magic

At least it's not Nickelback

Because they’ve got more money than brains!!!

People said that about airplanes in the 1940s

It’s St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, please
