Lisa Nowak, the diaper-driving astronaut... in the news again

[Rabbit From Hell]

She's a crazy ass bitch, but I think she chose to be one.  So I vote she doesn't get off.

[ozymandias]

I feel kind of sorry for her.

I feel more sorry for her kids.

we all choose to be what we are... i think. i dunno how wise we are when we choose.

[duncvis]

true that. luckily most of us dont have to answer for all of our shite decisions. just some of them.

[SovaNu]

god blessh alcohol.

[Eclair]

she probably is insane. but AS is not a mental illness. no matter what that assmunch dr phil says!

She's just using AS as part of the ploy!!  To succeed in that hyper testosterone world of astronaut training, you have to be the ultimate NT!

Whether she has AS her not, we can all have our suspicions!

However, the first thing I thought was, fuck, lobbing into space and being stuck with the same people day in and day out in a confined space would be an Aspies worst nightmare (regardless of the view out the window!).

Agreed, hardly my idea of a good time.  If I'm going to be in a space ship, I'd rather be ALONE!

Alone and so far away from other people that would be nice

f i could get TV and internet and all the basic life support stuff i could be happy on some deserted planet.

I think I could manage it. So long as misery is of a clearly
delimited temporal nature, I can deal.

[SovaNu]

have any astronauts ever fucked in space?

[Calandale]

Have any NOT?

[ozymandias]

have any astronauts ever fucked in space?

According to what I'v read, not yet!  However, I think somehow, it will be an "experiment", if it hasn't already been done, soon.  If they have mixed crews for a year or longer on a voyage to mars or establishing a base on the moon.  They must be thinking of sexual activity somehow.  Especially if they have type A, Alpha male and female type personaliities cooped up in floating tin cans.     Human nature is human nature and sexual experimentation in space in zero g is just too much of a question to ignore.

The truth is out there!

Next time she has to do the perp walk, I can imagine a bunch of Aspies holding up a banner that says "Don't come crying to us."

As for that business of being in a confined space with the same people for several days, if you ever find yourself visiting KSC, be sure to check out the walk-through scale mock-up of the Shuttle.  It's smaller than you might imagine.  The main deck isn't much bigger than my kitchen, and the upper flight deck is even smaller.  The shitter is this thing on the main deck with a curtain that closes around it (secured on top and bottom because of zero-g, of course) and a lever with one position for shitting and another for pissing.  I imagine that if you're working on the main deck and someone floats in there to take a shit, you're gonna hear every fart.

As for fucking in space, there's a company that now offers zero-g parabolic flights to anyone with about $3600 to burn.  ( http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/product/sku__ZG001 )  Bet they'd make more money if they offered zero-g "mile high club" flights.

The thing is those zero g flights last all of 90 seconds or so.  If your the "Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'm type" that may work. or the premature ejaculation type.  But, most of us need a little more time to work things up to a proper state of mind!
