WCDT 2106-2110 (January 23-27, 2012) - QC IN SPAAAAAACE!!!
DSL:
Owls are only good for light strike missions on federal agents who are afraid of coffee shop owners. They don't have the heavy-lift capacity.
We had some fun in an earlier thread talking about space elevators, I think.
Mr_Rose:
Experience is an issue for everyone who hasn't been to space before and the only way to get it is to go so it's kind of a wash. Training, though, is an interesting issue; most astronaut training is in spacecraft operations so you can skip a hell of a lot of it if you expect people to just be passengers and not push buttons. Still, though, they will need to know what to expect from low or microgravity and especially how to move and more importantly stop in freefall.
Is it cold in here?:
Marigold will want to invite Momo, who would invite herself except for the social protocol database.
In which case, it will be very difficult to stop Marten from bring his own AnthroPC.
I don't want to think about that too much.
Method of Madness:
It would be very difficult if Marten wanted to bring Pintsize.

Lemme throw this curve ball: HannerDad does live in a "space station." However, it's a special mockup of a "space station" in some warehouse in New Jersey. It would sorta explain why Hanners is OCD in cleaning; a "space station' would offer a clean environment to a serious OCD person, with heavy filtration systems, orderly organization, and so forth.

Honestly this is pretty rational in thought, even in QCs alternate universe it would still be quite expensive to send 2 people who have no experience or training into space. The special mockup would make a whole bunch of sense, however I'm sure if they are going to space than I'm sure Jeph will have a good explanation as to how it will work.

I base my speculation on the fact that we have several analogues here on earth already.
