With starship earth you’re taking your poop on a tour of the solar system…

Theatres hate it when OP takes a seat.
I've always wondered why Americans "take" things so much. "Take a shit", "take a shower", "take a look"
You "go for" or "have" those things in OG English.
Take = to make something yours
Have = something you already possess
I'm going to have a shower
I'm going to take a shower
Both describe in some capacity making the shower yours.
Take a shit
Have a shit
Here shit is actually acting as a verb like shower, not a noun
Take a look
Have a look
Again both describing a action that you personally doing, just different styles of the same construction
Unrelated somewhat, but one similar swedish expression is "ta en titt" (literally "take a look", not "grab a boob"). But then the swedes also have "Slutstation" ("End station" in public traffic) and "Utfart" ("drive out").
Typical Americans, always take, take, take
And when ordering in restaurants “I’ll take…” which always seems a bit rude
I would argue that the only time you are NOT taking a poop, is when you are pooping. At any other time you are taking all of your poop with you.
You take it from wherever you are to the toilet.
Also on a less pedantic note, sometimes doctors will have you collect a home stool sample and take it to them.
Since you have poop inside you, your always taking it somewhere. Unless you've just had a colonic irrigation.
/me walks onto the poop deck :-P
I’m not taking the poop with me. From my inertial reference frame, I’m sending my departure point on Earth away from me.
