I'm assuming they are taking along a couple, at least, of well-trained astronauts to press the right buttons.

God, I hope so. Can you imagine a bunch of artists in a crisis?

I meant as passengers. I mean, how much enjoyment would a bunch of astrophysicists get from attending Biennale in Venice? Not their field... very much like taking a bunch of artists into space.

hhmm yeah but artistically surely seeing something like space, the Earth from a place you never have before etc would be massively inspiring for an artist? as much as a scientist, perhaps even more?
