CNN today had a story about the most recent launch of SpaceX which is due to return to Earth this evening after a three day mission. This mission was notable because it involved four people with no previous experience as astronauts. You basically must only be able to afford a “ticket.” It also orbited at over 300 miles (482km) above Earth’s surface, higher than anything has flown in several decades.

following quote that gave me ideas...

Zip ties? Three days in zero gravity? Four people who aren’t astronauts?
“Dr. Andy” is busy right now putting his “crew” together for the next mission.
