NASA Astronaut Diaper chick...

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

What does that have to do with anything?

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.

Well she did apparently go a little insane. She wanted to get where she
was going as quickly as possible. Even in her scrambled mental state she
saw that as a problem that could be solved by wearing a diaper. Of
course she knew there were places to stop. She didn't want to stop,
that's the point. As an astronaut she wouldn't think twice about ****ing
in a diaper if it would solve a perceived problem.

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????

According to NASA that is WHAT THEY REALLY ARE. They make the
definition, not you, not the news media.

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.

I doubt that he or NASA will comply with your demand to see his logbook,
but knock yourself out.

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?

Yes, a mission specialist, and an astronaut as defined by NASA. By the
way, these bios are directly from NASA.

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.

So what? The FAA has nothing to do with how NASA defines an astronaut.
