I don't understand what all the complaining is about. Those passengers almost had the opportunity of a lifetime. Consider how much a non-stop flight to Venus usually costs. Most flights have a lay-over on the Moon.
--From one of the comments below the CNN story,
to which I add:
"Har! Snork!"

If the passengers chose to ignore the "fasten seatbelts" light it was their own fault, they were warned.

Preparation A took care of them.

You don't want to go to Venus -- you might get a venereal disease.

Uranus is not bright enough, butt Venus wants to know if her jeans make her planet look big.

I think he over reacted. If he thought he was about to fly into Uranus, now that I understand

Wasn't there a 6th grade joke about Kilingons on Uranus? At least they weren't from Venus - Venereal Klingons are even worse!

Confusin' quote: "I hit the top of the ceiling and fell back to the ground."
She fell out of the plane?!?!?!?! (Must've hit an island in the Atlantic.)
