Summary

Several years in the future, an all-female astronaut team circumnavigates the globe once every 90 minutes aboard the International Space Station, prepared to be a powerful presence in space. When a surprise set of "everyday citizens" tags along for the ride, all protocol flies right out the proverbial...airlock.

After a lifetime of being kept down on the ground, what happens when these women finally rise up and see their lives - and their planet - from high above it all?

very funny

“please don’t spit your water in zero gravity, it’s not sanitary”, but they’re making burritos.

an Elon Musk talking to pigeons (street rats, or penguins, a bit unclear) and announcing people are going to Mars, an all women crew and tourism on the ISS, while conversations between astronauts are mainly gossip. full of very funny dialog, like:
“we nip in the bud, not but”
“can we stop ‘your people’ing each other?”
“you do not bring up tragic flights while on a mission”
“fingers crossed is how i deal with everything”
“clearly all that work you did was not necessary, because all i did was write an essay about how sad i am on the inside and here i am”
“no politics in space, no arguing in space, no trying to convert people to you religion in space”
“ground control to major mom”
“the breast buoyancy (…) it’s so nice to be lifted like this (…) i’m convinced that being a woman on the planet is impossible, on Earth everything pull us down”
“i watched Total Recall the night before we launched, you know, for prep”
“i will not 'man' the airlock, but i will work the airlock”
“you had sex with Elon?” - “it was innovative”
“do not open the airlock!” - “we will not apologise for our ambition”

short, funny, definitely entertaining.
great performance.
