Somewhere in a large insurance company an actuary is raising the premium for this particular flight.

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 they go forward with it it looks like we’re in for a real-life stand-off like in that classic 1977 Saturday Night Live sketch Planet of the Men vs. Planet of the Women:

Our hopes and dreams lay in a premature ejection.

Headline: “X to ride Jeff Bezos’ rocket”

Sooooo . . . What happens when one of these celebrity and rich-people filled capsules inevitably crashes, develops a air leak, blows up, or otherwise fails? While I don’t hope it happens (because it would set back spaceflight by another decade or so, like the shuttle crashes), I do wonder how that would impact the whole zeitgeist.

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.

Well, I hope Bezos at least has the common decency to take him out for dinner and drinks first.

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