The plan for America’s first all-female spaceflight was to look good, have a great time, and do a lot of screaming. And honestly? Mission accomplished.
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.
