(OP) Senior Forum Moderator 01/26/2021 03:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I ran into this former astronaut right before the crew one launch. [link to www.axiomspace.com (secure)] My guess is that their company has already been observing the procedures SpaceX has been using to launch NASA astronauts, as Axiom also gets ready to conduct private flights to the space station. I didn't say anything until now because I didn't want to leak it if it turned out that he was on the crew. This is an important development because NASA does not want to be the sole customer for SpaceX's Crew Dragon vehicle. They want commercial partners to be buying rides as well in order to help defray the fixed costs of operating crewed spacecraft. |

I've seen one other former shuttle astronaut around the cape who is now working for them, but he doesn't appear to be listed on this particular crew. so much diversity Occult Ritual Transformation and Coronavirus: How Mask Wearing, Hand Washing, “Social Separation” and Lockdowns Are Age-Old Occult Rituals [link to haveyenotread.com (secure)] |

Look at it this way, the more they pay, the more burden is taken off the taxpayer. NASA does not want to be the only customer flying the crew dragon. They want to be one customer of many. Those rich white passengers are helping shoulder some of the fixed costs of running and maintaining the systems needed to launch the crew dragon vehicle.

In my infantile mind, I'm picturing a bunch of nitwits floating around the ISS spinning knobs and puking all over the place, leaving a mess and playing rap. What are they going to do, kick you out?

They are attempting to bring the current money system into space. Space is free, it cannot be monetized. Utilize your free "space" by projecting you're grateful it's free. The gift of your life was free all along. You have a right to life and happiness. Be the light. |

Quoting: Katipo2017 The entire flight can be performed automatically, human intervention is only needed if something goes wrong. That is the primary responsibility of the commander, the pilot is there as a backup and to help keep an eye on systems. |
