Lonely Trip to the Moon
You're a billionaire. You paid for a private trip to the moon and back. You were warned it would be lonely. As a non-scientist with no mission work to perform, it's a waiting game for most of the 3 day trip from the space station to the moon, and then 3 days back.
Sure the launch was exciting - and that crew of Russian cosmonauts couldn't have been more accommodating. But once you were loaded into the tiny lunar orbiter and the autopilot program was initiated, you became a simple observer. The tiny porthole window faces your destination - the moon. It grows ever so slightly each day.
Jesus. This is really boring. You don't even have Wi-Fi or a laptop to play games on. Was this trip really worth the $500 million it cost you? Maybe the moon orbit will be more exciting.
At least you'll get to hang with the Russians on the space station for a week before the return mission. That young Katarina was making eyes at you - and the Russians are known for their "what happens on the ISS stays on the ISS" attitude.
