Space 'Survivor'? Gotta admit, it sounds cool.

Hm. On one hand, the excitement of space flight; on the other hand, being trapped in a big 14-year-old orbital Thermos for ten days. Hm.

I thought this would be really, really cool at first. Then I realized that they wouldn't be "spacing" the losers.

And the way you earn the grand prize is much better than "Survivor". Instead of engaging in pointless games and political manipulation of your competitors, you just bribe some corrupt Russian bureaucrats...

I'm flabbergasted. Four years ago my SO and I wrote a parody of the Real World in which the Worldies were sent to a space station-- but we set it in 2031. Stupidity moves a lot faster than we anticipated.

Only in a special box of cesium gas.
