After enjoying a fun-filled 3 days in orbit or carrying out sinister CIA operations, or both.

The idea of plowing into the atmosphere in a capsule that will be heated to over 3000 degrees would make me a little nervous but they were brave enough to ride the torch into space in the first place.

Not really amateurs anymore. More space experience than most of NASA.

Yet, NOLA still can't find anyone to pick up rotting garbage.

Did they do anything more than the people riding Mission Space at Epcot do?

Buddy at work was saying they'd have to pay the hell out of him to take that ride. I said hold up, son...for the rest of your life, anytime someone tried to one-up you, you could say "I've been to space".

If it were me

I’d blast the freebird solo upon re-entry and hope for the best

Overlook Horizon is a pretty informative stream. Basically a more restrained everyday astronaut.

One of the astronauts is watching Spaceballs as they are getting ready for reentry.

Speaking of which, what do your balls do in zero gravity?

Prediction: The missing Youtube couple will pop out of the capsule.

Here we go. If they're gonna die, it's most likely now. We'll know in 5 or 6 minutes!

That guy on the third row of consoles all the way on the left is wearing a tinfoil hat.
