It’d take at least half a bottle of Tequila to get me to strap on 6 bazillion pounds of rocket fuel.

I’m not sure I could hop in a tin can sitting on a million pound bomb if I was sober.

It's a witch hunt. If you have to go back 12 hours before launch, this is pretty lame.

Of course if I knew I'd be hurtling into space in a tiny capsule on top of enough rocket fuel to blow up Manhattan the next morning, I think I'd be looking for a couple of stiff ones to settle my nerves as well.
