If they have that kind of extra capacity, they should sell the seat!

I believe we should be allowed to vote on sending certain people in to space.

Of course, my proposal is for one way tickets.

*SIGH* If they can send ONE CNN reporter into space, why can't they just send ALL of them? ;)

Does anyone here really have a problem blasting the whole CNN crew into space?

Yeah, me. Too expensive and a waste of good resources.

The space equipment, I mean.

It would be cheaper to get one of Ted Turner's old yachts, load up the CNN crew, and sail them off in to the Bermuda
Triangle.

I agree with that. O'Brien really picked up the ball after Holliman - who was a great space reporter - was killed in an auto accident.

Having read about the Space Shuttle as a child, before it was even launched into space, landings where when I had always feared a problem. Anyone who knew anything about the tiles and the problems they had with them should have known something like the Columbia tragedy could have happened.

What if we used one of these to launch them?



To those who say you could never launch a CNN anchor into orbit with one of these I say it can't hurt to try ;-)

I think this is a great idea for CNN... if only they could send Klein on a one-way ticket; they might actually come out of the cellar. Well... maybe that's an overstatement.
