Default NASA Astronaut Diaper chick...

Your comments are so stupid on so many levels it's difficult to know where
to begin...


Really??? How long have you earned your living as a pilot?

OK: the diaper is the least puzzling aspect of this whole episode.
Shuttle crews wear diapers during launch & reentry when they do not have
access to the lavatory.


Ummm. Yes. BUT SHE WASN'T ON THE ****ING SHUTTLE, WAS SHE? She was driving
across the country and any idiot knows that every 40 or 50 miles there is
place to take a squat...Only an insane person would **** their pants if it
wasn't necessary.

Political correctness? What? Did you read any other part of her
biography? She is qualified as a mission specialist. She is an engineer.
She does not fly the orbiter.


OK. But the NEWS MEDIA keep saying she is an "astronaut". Perhaps there
should be a push to call people WHAT THEY REALLY ARE, instead of giving them
gratuitous titles that they haven't actually earned. Political
correctness????

A couple of the males in her class:
MICHAEL ³MIKE² FINCKE (LIEUTENANT COLONEL, USAF)
NASA ASTRONAUT: over 825 flight hours in more than 30 different aircraft
types.


I really love this one...825 hours in more than 30 different aircraft
types....gimme a ****in' break. I want to see this guy's logbook.

LEE M.E. MORIN, M.D., PH.D. (CAPTAIN, USN)
NASA ASTRONAUT: doesn't seem to be a pilot at all.


And therefore not an astronaut....a mission specialist maybe?

Did you know that the FAA now has a Certificate called "Commercial
Astronaut", and that to earn that rating one must actually "fly" a
spacecraft???? You don't get it by riding on one.
