BrainkBank: CST Shuttle, Probably Doesn't Stand For Crazy Science Time Edition

This here is a spaceship. More accurately, it's a poor rendition of a spaceship populated by six terrifying adult male manikins and one terrified small girl manikin. But that's not what I'm here to talk to you about today.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we see a sneak peek into the wondrous world of 2014. Instead of taking a relaxing ocean cruise, families can instead strap themselves into a pile of bolts about as large as their closets and go hurtling through space at terminal velocity on the tip of a rocket.

They can then dock up at the International Space Station for up to seven months of having their bones liquified. Then, they get to parachute down to Earth and spend a fun few years in rehab.

But in all seriousness, cheap space travel by 2014 sounds pretty darn cool to me. Rock on, NASA people. Well actually, this is a private service from Boeing, and I'm pretty sure NASA only has enough funding to make model spaceships right now.
