American Millionaire Returns from Space; Won't Shut Up About It

US millionaire scientist Gregory Olsen, who returned two days ago from his stay aboard the international space station, hasn't shut up about it since. Olsen reportedly paid $20 million for his trip.

"Oh my God, he just can't stop," confirmed a colleague, Dr. Roberta Colley. "A group of us went to lunch at Chili's, and he said, 'you know, we didn't have Mexican food on the space station.' We get it, you were in space. You were there for like, a week. Now shut the fuck up and eat your fajitas."

Olsen dislikes being labeled as a space tourist. "I dedicated two years of my life to this," he said.

"Okay then, you're not a 'space tourist,'" said Olsen's lab assistant Randall McDavid. "But check this out. While he was up there, he lost his camera! Come on, dude! You couldn't be more of a tourist if you came back with a sunburn, wearing a 'Property of the International Space Station, Size XXL' sweatshirt."

Olsen, the third private citizen to be sent into space, is the most self-absorbed object ever to orbit the earth.
