kind of funny how the stupid human govt here drags their organic feet on space stuff except when they can get entertainment (sending people up) out of it, right?
everyone tell me your conspiracy theories about this
personally i think when we're all up there they'll blow us up or something and call it a malfunction

[whereas riptide is confident he could survive that, so he's not all bothered.]

Thanks, buddy.

But I'm alright, don't worry about me.

We can just buy the candy instead, and then no one has to go to jail.

[flightforfreedom]
