Now all they have to do is lose her luggage and NASA will officially become US Airways.

Not quite: they will need to misdirect the return flight, too, and sent het into a lunar orbit instead.

So this guy and this chick are stranded alone in a cramped spacecraft for months? No wonder he wants to come home first. ;-P

7 months in space. "Her current crew mate, Michael Lopez-Alegria"
Well now, let's hope she doesn't start wearing diapers when she lands.

-pssst- someone tell Lisa Nowak that this astronaut is seeing Oefelien-she'll figure out a way to strap on a diaper and get to the station and bring her back.

Sunita?

No, while US Airways may have received some tax breaks or government supplements in rough times, they weren't solely funded off tax dollars.
Her ticket home, space shuttle Endeavour, may get off the ground several weeks later than its originally scheduled June 28 launch.
Imagine that. A government program running behind schedule, probably over budget, and no major updates to the vehicle in question in over 30 years. Yep, sounds exactly like a government program. Woo-hoo, let's hear it for limited government!!
