It was a ride, Megan. It was a carnival ride for rich people. Of course, that's what it was. And the reason we distinguish what they did from actual astronauts, by the way, many of whom are women, we have real female astronauts who might inspire young girls to think about a career in becoming astronauts, is because they didn't do any of the training. They just sat there. Other people-

When you have people who trained their whole lives, they go to engineering school and aeronautics school in order to study the art of being an astronaut, the science involved in going to space. And they dressed up in a costume and went on a little ship ride for 11 minutes. And some carnival rides actually take more than that. And then they come back and they're like, how dare you call it a ride?

When, as I said, you had Christian McCullough, but also like a good number now of, like actual trained female astronauts who go into space, I mean, is it really surprising that people reacted in the way that they're reacting?
