It might be a good way to test their new escape stuff.. or not. I can’t imagine how many inspections and simulations they have run so far.. I grew up wanting to go astronaut, now I’d go but only if my dog goes with me. ;-)
Cboldt seemed to share your view on it, without specifically addressing the testing.
His dog couldn’t be reached for comment. “:^)
When my kid was about eight, he told my wife he wanted to work at NASA. She asked if he was wanted to be an astronaut and he said no. He wanted to build rockets.
He’s majoring in astronautical engineering and works at NASA.
