Icke-Kia Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 The Discovery Channel announced on May 18, 2021, that it’s launching a new reality show competition called “Who Wants to Be an Astronaut?” It aims to send one ordinary person to the International Space Station for an 8-day stay. Theres a been few rides to space on offer just lately, not sure why their claiming for the first time ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But usually Musk comes up in articles covering this .. like here ... https://earthsky.org/space/discovery-channel-who-wants-to-be-an-astronaut In this article there's a big picture of Musk and some text about his activities , so in the confused public mind , some will get the impression Musk is doing it. Discovery channel is "casting" for a long drawn out games show series , the winner gets to go to the space station for a week , sent there in a rocket by some unknown company ....

Im not seing anyones mind confused but yours, you got the impression musk is doing it. Long and drwn out, eight episodes? In those episodes we will see how the contestants deal with Astronaut training, sounds interesting to me. Axiom are unknown to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
