Although it's certainly no excuse, it's easily understandable that anyone being asked to sit on top of a giant bomb that was built at low bid might be wanting a bit of a bracer......

Not that it’s right, it’s not, but “mission specialists” are just excess baggage until they get into orbit.

I understand the reason for the rules. We wouldn’t want the astronauts to run into another rocket in outer space.

Considerign that the nickname of liquor is “liquid fire” and that the astronauts essentailly deal with hihgly flammabl liquid feuls, it’s kind of apropos.

Especially when they know in advance that tiles and foam are going to fly off the dang thing. Can’t say I blame them.

I would need a few under my belt first too. They don’t steer anyway, so what’s the problem.

This is how the Roswell Incident happened.
To: Stoat
The study apparently doesn't deal directly with the Nowak incident or mention any other astronaut by name, Morring reported."But we in the press will mention Nowak anyway because it sells papers. Did you hear she had diapers? Diapers!"
