Never mind that this was a historic event where each of the four people on that flight represented something good about humanity. No, they have to talk about someone getting sick and a toilet fan issue.
And, never mind that they raised over $200 million dollars for St. Jude Children's hospital. No, what matters is a toilet! Who are these people?

If you want to learn more about this historic event, I highly recommend the five episode series about it on Netflix. It is excellent.
Here's the mission website:
I thought is was remarkable that they did not make this about SpaceX. Elon Musk barely shows-up in the documentary. It is all about the people, their stories and the mission.
I am also particularly proud of this moment because we worked for SpaceX on a related contract for a couple of years (can't discuss details).
Yes, I know that deep investigative work is not something people can do as well as dedicated journalists with large budgets. But that's such a tiny minority of what journalism was before the internet, and it was being subsidized by the rest. It's an unfortunate victim of the business model collapse.
