I highly recommend making a daytrip up to Montserrat.
You could leave Barcelona around 9 and be back at 5ish without rushing.
It's a good hike up to the very top of the mountain above the monastery if you're up for that. Narrow winding path up the hillside. If not interested in doing that hike, the gondola and funicular ride up to the monastery are pretty cool by themselves.

Isn't that what you yell when you walk into the men's room and all the urinals are taken?

That really surprises me. Launching a geostationary vehicle from Canaveral takes so much more fuel than launching at the equator. Since this is a private venture, I'm puzzled as to why they would have decided on the additional cost versus an equatorial launch.

I wouldn't read too much into guys or gals electing to not return. Sometimes there are equities in life that go beyond the mere W-2.
A common theme I've seen is going to work at the family business. Mom n Pop sends you to school, and you get the flying bug. You give it a whirl and make it to the big show. Money's good and responsibility is pretty light....until the BK hits.
While on furlough you go back to work with the family, and you come to realize that owning your own business is really the only way to become truly in charge of your destiny, and one of the few ways to generate true wealth.
Or someone may have married into, or had their SOs work develop into a good situation.
Or perhaps parenting became a priority.
Or they found something they just like better.
Look, I don't deny it's a good gig that pays a fair number of quatloos, but it's hardly the center of the universe.
