Lauren Sánchez’s Cosmic Bachelorette Party

If you don’t know what a bachelorette party is like, let me tell you: It’s like being vacuum sealed in a tin can with a bunch of girls you don’t know that well but with whom you have to pretend to have a life-changing experience, for the sake of the bride, who invited everyone and who has a vision.

In other words, it’s exactly what happened on this morning’s historic American spaceflight.
