      5 days inside of a little capsule the size of a walk-in closet with zero privacy, even while using the bathroom.

      I can’t think of a better situation to get back into reading. Lol

      Pilots and professional mission specialists train for years and years to learn CRM and task management in order to prevent overload and cope with high stress. Space will be always difficult, I don’t see “tourist” crews to become the norm in the near future. You’ll always need a couple of “adults” behind the wheel

      These folks were extremely experienced and well trained as far as private astronauts go (the term “civilian” astronaut is dumb here, it doesn’t fit this case, government employees are still civilians). These folks had tons of experience as pilots and they did a ton of training. But this illustrates just how high the bar is for traditional government astronauts. They go through a truly incredible amount of training, and they learn how to handle the information overload. They’re also carefully selected so that they are the sort of folks who can do that work, especially in terms of the commander and pilot. It takes a lot just to keep your head in the game. I’m happy to see Polaris push the boundaries of what can be done in the private field in human spaceflight, but I hope to see an increasing sense of how important rigor and extensive training are here.
