One of the things I had problems with in Gwendy was the asshat guy and Gwendy herself on board. Not that the "civilian" participants were unrealistic. Obviously, we are seeing it happening now. Joe blows are buying their way into space.
All I'm saying, there is no fucking way I'm going into orbit with Gwendy or the asshat guy or Pete Davidson or William Shatner. Listening to Chris talk about the rigorous knowledge and training they go through, there is no way I'm sitting next to some chocolate eating dementia patient, a rich slug, a tweaker or a guy who bought his ticket on Priceline.
In Chris's opening segment of the class, he says, you have to be prepared because you might only have ONE BREATH to save your life, the crew's lives and the ship.
Pete's one breath would be smokin' a fatty and Shatner is on a bipap machine. He'd get all tangled up in the tubes and I'm supposed to be looking at him to help?
One breath.
D=1/2 p v2 S
This is Drag = 1/2 rho (density), velocity squared, surface
There are thousands of those equations but he recommends starting with the Drag equation.
Believe it or not, I understood it. I do NOT trust Pete Davidson's math abilities. I barely trust mine. Okay. I don't trust mine at all.
Mass and velocity and algebra and formulas and ions and liquids and rockets and solids and blah blah blah. Chris has gone full-on geek.
Do not get on a space craft with me. You will die.
