It's true: NASA has a procedure for just about EVERY contingency.

A gun would be out of the question; a bullet could pierce a spaceship and could kill everyone.

Obviously these guys have never heard of frangible bullets.

Glaser Safety Slugs anyone?

Not that I'm saying firearms are NECESSARY on the space station, but better to have every tool you might need than find ourself in need and left scratching your arse for an answer.

The producers of Armeggedon knew that so they used it in the movie, tying the psychotic driller with duct tape.

Space station astronauts talk [...] every two weeks to a psychologist,

Well, that'd drive me nuts...most are of questionable sanity themselves.

We are so high tech, but in an ER we always get back to our roots ( duct tape). When they start taking reservations though, I'm not going if I can't take my gun.

I can tell from the tone of your voice, Dave, that you're upset. Why don't you take a stress pill and get some rest.

From the 'instructions':

"Explain what you are doing, and that you are using a restraint to ensure that he is safe."

*Ahem*, shall we have some gender neutrality here?

"using a restraint to ensure that THEY are safe."

Hey, let's face it - we've only had one astronaut go totally apesh*t so far, and that was on the ground (thank GOD), and their chromosomal structure was 'XX'.

Everything I need to know about space madness I learned from "Commander Hoëk and Stimpy".

"They think I'm crazy, but I know better. It is not I who am crazy, it is I who am MAD!

Image:Space Madness screenshot.png Can't you hear them? Can't you see the crowds? Oh, my beloved ice cream bar. How I love to lick your creamy center! And your oh-so-nutty chocolate covering! You're not like the others, you like the same things I do! Wax paper, boiled football leather- DOG BREATH!

We're not hitch-hiking anymore! We're riding!... Oh no! I know what you want! You've coveted my ice cream bar! No you don't! You can't take it from me now! I've had it ever since I was a child.

Everywhere I go, people always try to take it from me! Why won't they leave.. me.. ALOOONNNNNE!!!"

It has already happened. My astronaut sources tell me that the Russkies had a couple of fistfights on the Salyut space station, and we had an incident where a foreign astronaut started acting dangerously. NASA keeps secrets pretty well.
