If you bring your own space suit and helmet, they'll often let you sit in the crew capsule on top of the rocket for a few minutes, as long as there's more than 30 minutes to go before launch.

The Dragon's my absolute favourite. The touchscreen passcode is 3212, but the launch is managed by the control center, so don't go looking for the big red button!

Avoid the Starliner, it's uncomfortable and really not worth it.



Not sure why no one else is reacting to this comment, because it's pretty funny!


Humour goes in different ways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Happy if it brightens up a single person's day :-)


Also, do ensure your suit and helmet meet ISO 17763.

They _do not_ have to be NASA branded, but the cheap ebay knockoffs will be spotted.

You may also be asked to use the suit in a vacuum negative pressure test to ensure it's compliant.
