This could possibly be the most perfectly manufactured Because We Love You in the long history of our beloved series. I mean, someone had the wherewithal to have a bikini shoot in zero gravity (genius!), and then handpicked everyone’s favorite blonde bombshell to play floating piñata?

If there is a Maharishi of boobs bikinis, I’m thinking this was his idea. From the hearts of every hetero man out there, and the 12-year-old boy perpetually imprisoned within him, we thank you Sports Illustrated. Enjoy interwebs, this one’s for you…
