Drunken Shuttle Astronauts

Post by skelters » Fri Jul 27, 2007 3:05 pm

So you're about to sit behind an estimated 37million bhp Space Shuttle costing billions to develop and maintain.

Would you have a drink?

It's not as if you're going to get done for speeding is it?

Who's going to pull you over!

Hell... what better way is there to test the autopilot / computer systems? It's the real flight... no need to simulate drunkenness for the real flight, yeah?

That's probably the only way they'd get me to strap myself to 535,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen, knowing that there's a 7.5% chance I'm not going to make it back in one piece.
