Somewhere in a large insurance company an actuary is raising the premium for this particular flight.
No take backs.
I grow weary of celebrity dick measuring.
How about a very feminine rocket instead Pete?
The real question is: how high will Pete Davidson be on the trip?
Kinda fucking bizarre that he could be in the history books as the first stoned person in space.
Ye has been in space for some time.
If comedians are running countries now, then yes, get them to fucking space already to absorb the fragility of our precious marble. I’ve gone beyond fully conceding to the upside down - fuck it, I’m leaning into it.

If Bezos is onboard, then I hope its a one way trip. No offense Pete, but the Earth doesn’t need Jeff back.

They’ll be in trouble if they need someone to reverse the polarity of the neutrino flow.

I just hope he’s in full regulation cricket attire. Otherwise, well it’s just not
