Astronauts covet time in space. For them being told your one or two week mission has been extended to 6 months is like you or me being told you have to extend your Greek island vacation another 3 months. Twist my arm.

I could definitely see that happening.

However, just like the deep sea submersible Titan passengers might admit, there gets to be a point where Frank and Bob and Larry and the overfilled porta potty are laying ontop of you because the damn thing is nose diving to 12,000ft and the experience just doesn’t seem quite as romantic anymore. No?

...and the DEI genZ’ers can’t figure out which button to program to successfully open the hatch for you.

Wait, didn’t the Titan have a hatch opening issue too??

Kinda like.....

I hope they have something to do while they're up there to justify the oxygen they're breathing.

I hope they don't become two "don't touch that!" tourists while the others have their assigned missions to complete.
