Can You TP A Space Station?

In a few days there will be four women up in space. That's the largest number of women in orbit ever, and all of them are headed for the space station.
   So which one of them is the mean girl? And which one is the target? You know it's gonna happen, whenever there are three women in the same room, two of them ostracize the third, and it gets even worse the more ladies there are. This is bound to hold true up in orbit, especially in the tight confines of a space shuttle or space station. And don't tell me I'm being sexist or perpetuating sterotypes, it's true and you know it. One of the four women astronauts is going to cry before it's all over, and wonder why the other three don't like her.
   Maybe NASA will pipe down footage of the zero-g pillow fight they're going to have. I mean, seriously, isn't being on the space station like one freaky slumber party? They can get in their sleeping bags, pop popcorn and make cookies, play with a Ouija board, do each other's hair and talk about the boys back in Mission Control.
   Okay, see? That was sexist, that last paragraph. I shouldn't have written that, I know. I feel ashamed. And ready for the YouTube footage of the pillow fight.
