There is a documentary on Netflix about it but only two of the five episodes are available. The next three will not be out until after they return. The "struggling billionaire" has offered to fly all 1500 of his employees to Cape Canaveral for four days fully paid to watch the launch and splashdown. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I spoke to the commander and he said he is taking a copy of the movie Spaceballs so they can all watch it in space. I thought that was hilarious.
