    As you can see on the site right now, the number of people in space right now is ten. For those of us that follow spaceflight, the most exciting day was when, for a few minutes, there were TWENTY. That is a record for all of humanity. We’ve never had that many in space at once ever.

    Step 2: Send all the billionaires to space. Involuntarily if needed.

    Step 3: Remember Apollo 13? Yeah. That. Except instead of a concerned Houston control room doing everything they can to bring the billionaires back, we instead fill the control room with 3 year olds, and don’t tell them anything about not touching buttons. Let them go nuts. Touch all the buttons randomly. The tech crew can go to lunch.

    Call it “Project Luigi”.

      I don’t like it. There is still the possibility that somehow, one set of action brings them back here. It would be better to simply put no one in there because CoSt SaViNgS.

    Jesus no one can have any privacy any more eh? Maybe I want to take a short trip to space to take a shit? And while I’m up in the stars blasting out my asteroid, anyone can just look up where I’m at thanks to this website, eh? What’s the galaxy coming to?
