Guess what day it is?!?! Launch day for the 1st civilian crew @inspiration4x! I know there’s controversy of what you should be called. But when you strap into a rocket & launch into orbit, you can call yourself anything you want: astronot, astronut, astronaut—whatever. Godspeed!
@StationCDRKelly @inspiration4x @SpaceX Her friends and family are so incredibly proud of @DrSianProctor. What an extraordinary day! 🚀❤️
@StationCDRKelly @inspiration4x @SpaceX Real Astronauts or not. They are going to space. I have nothing but respect for these 4 courageous people. I am also totally jealous I am not going. Godspeed INSPIRATION 4 crew.
@StationCDRKelly @inspiration4x @SpaceX Just like a basket of puppies!
@StationCDRKelly @inspiration4x @SpaceX What about Astronaut-Tourists? Or are there any clearer term @planet4589?
@StationCDRKelly @inspiration4x @SpaceX These folks trained, I say Astronauts and jolly well done to all concerned, not 10 minutes up and down like a roller coaster, higher orbit than Huble= Astronaut
@StationCDRKelly @inspiration4x @SpaceX Shuttle had similar mission profiles when using spacehab. Including STS-107. Human experience aspect of human spaceflight should not be reduced to cold uninspired uninclusive qualifiers.
@StationCDRKelly @inspiration4x @SpaceX Highly jealous. Me next!
