On the one hand, it's a historical occasion, and it's generally good for historical occasions to be documented. On the other, no one wants a deeply personal matter to end up in history books.


That's why one doesn't usually do these deeply personal things that are probably completely illegal while they are on their job site and using systems that do not belong to them for those activities. Guarantee there's something very specific about it in the policy agreements they signed before getting anywhere near the possibility of takeoff.

Training for this kind of work most definitely includes grappling with the fact that you're going to be away for a while, and customarily "personal issues" at such distances will not be private. Especially when laws are allegedly broken.

Unless they installed SpaceTOR, I suppose. Then they can do all the illegal online dirty work they wish. Allegedly.
