They have everything to do with the operation and mission of the spacecraft. They will do as much as NASA astronauts do on dragon spacecraft. I understand the point that the word astronaut is reserved for highly trained individuals working for NASA, but the rants about it I keep seeing online on various forums are just so mean spirited for some reason. Calling them payload, seriously? |

Yes, the ISS crew are mere passengers on SpaceX capsules. Just because I buy a ticket on a 737 doesn't make me an "aeronaut".
You can call it mean-spirited if you want, but the point is that some titles should only be earned, not purchased.
