The space tourists who are part of the first all-private mission to the International Space Station have promised not to annoy the actual astronauts onboard the station.
During a presentation about the upcoming mission by private spaceflight company Axiom Space, a former NASA astronauts said that he plans to make sure his crew doesn't disrupt the station.
We think that is a good example to be setting for future crews.
He argued that the crew of the Ax-1 was going to the International Space Station to do some serious science, not to go on a very expensive holiday.
Michael Suffredini said that the crew will be busy conducting research of their own and won't paste their nose on the window.
Having spent a considerable amount of time on board the space station himself, Lpez-Alegr's promises have at least some weight behind them.
It doesn't mean the introduction of civilian outsiders won't add to the chaotic situation on board. Russian and American astronauts are currently in space together, while their countries are locked in political conflict back on Earth.
Members of his crew will be the standard bearers and set the bar very high.
They have more than enough on their plates, so hopefully they won't irritate the professionals too much.
Man getting paid to fly rich guys to space says don't worry.
