By 2016, Osbourne and his son Jack had embarked on a second reality series, "Ozzy & Jack's World Detour," where father and son toured the country, taking part in the culture of each town they visited. In its third season, Osbourne, his son and granddaughter travelled to Alabama, where they visited ... Space Camp in Huntsville...

"It was like a divine experience for me," Osbourne said in his famously mumbling English accent.

Ozzy, as it turns out, has always been a history buff. "I was born in '48," he says, "and as a young kid, we used to play on bomb sites. For many years after World War II, I'd watch films about it on TV and the insanity of it all just got me interested." ...

To lighten things up while in Texas, the Osbournes also visited NASA, where they tried driving a moon rover (it got stuck), scouted out a mission control room ("On TV it looks huge, but it's not very big at all," Ozzy says) and donned astronaut suits.

"It's not a very comfortable outfit at all, to say the least," Ozzy says. "I don't get the way them astronauts walk around wearing them. They got these underpants ... They're like big bloomers."

"It's kind of like a wetsuit," Jack says. "And the thing you always see astronauts carrying around is a cooling unit; it makes it feel like cold water is circulating under the suit to keep you cool, but you're not wet. The funny thing to me was that the overalls under the suit are made by Patagonia. Like, 'Oh, yes. Patagonia is making space overalls. They must make, like, four of them a year.'"

"The astronaut suit was all right until I tried to take that fucking helmet off," he says. "It almost took my head with it."

And he visited the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah:
