    Yeah. That’s the whole point. Fair enough. The people on this commercial flight were there as a marketing tool not as a science tool.

    At some point “astronaut” has to mean “did science in space” and not “bought a sightseeing ticket so a corporation could profit.”

    I’m not a carnie because I spent 5 ride tickets on the coaster. Even if I buckled my own seatbelt.
