This is just in celebration of the boy band super pop star getting booted from the space program. You know the cosmo/astronauts are relieved.

Of course, now they won't get a chance to silence his oh-so-sweet voice by locking him out in the vacuum.

What's funny in that? Explain. (I didn't find any space garden in the ISS when I did a quick google search.. but it'd be cool if they have one).

And also.. is it possible to create pseudo-gravity inside a circular object by spinning it? I mean.. if you jump from it, you might get cut off from the "local gravity" and just stay above while everything continues turning above you.
