NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams signed up for a quick week-long test flight in Boeing’s shiny new Starliner capsule, but instead, they’ve been stuck at the International Space Station for over three months, courtesy of thruster failures and helium leaks that turned their spacecraft into the space version of a broken toaster.
But imagine a reality show called "Black Vibrational Heights," where black couples embark on a romantic journey to the International Space Station, only to find themselves stuck in a cosmic comedy of errors. Picture it: two lovebirds—let’s call them Malachi and Kayla —who signed up for what was supposed to be a quick week-long test flight aboard Boeing’s Starliner capsule, only to discover they’ve been inadvertently cast in a space-themed version of “Survivor.”
With no ride home until February, they’re left twiddling their thumbs, waiting for SpaceX—the space-age Uber that’s been shuttling astronauts around like it’s no big deal. They’re floating around in zero gravity, surrounded by scientific equipment and a whole lot of vacuum-sealed snacks, while their friends back on Earth are posting about their epic romantic getaway.
As the weeks drag on and the novelty of space travel wears off, the couple are faced with the ultimate test: can their love survive in a confined space with limited resources? Can they figure out how to keep the romance alive while eating rehydratable meals that taste like cardboard, awkward sex, and dealing with a malfunctioning bathroom. Meanwhile, they’re all secretly hoping that SpaceX will swoop in like a cosmic Uber, but the wait for a ride home is starting to feel like an eternity.
Now that’s a reality show that should be launched into the stratosphere!
