The “Right Stuff”…
Boy…
It really has been fascinating to learn more about the Astronaut Core.
Two things that stuck out:
They pick each other. (Like a Frat). I always thought it was by some NASA “Selection Committee” of some sort who WEREN’T astronauts.
The fact that they focus their WHOLE LIVES on this one goal and may not get a flight AT ALL, would appear to not make for a very stable or well-rounded life.

A HIGHLY accomplished one at that!
Over 200 carrier landings, attended TOPGUN, experience on over 50 types of aircraft, and a former test pilot.
I think that was the guy she was obsessed with?

You sir, are correct. My bad.
She still has one hell of a resume though. Test pilot school, and has flown over 30 types of aircraft.
DAYUM!!!
WTF???
Baby Girl has sat on over 10 million pounds of Trust and Controlled Fury, generating greater than 60 million horsepower…
Then spends 2 weeks in a 0-gravity environment with no shower…
And driving from Texas to Florida gives her a bad hair day!!!
“WTF”, I tell 'yas!!!

Damn, she was on a mission and not of the space variety wearing diapers so as not to have to stop to use the restroom during her drive!

Well I’ve tried to concentrate on the issue at hand here, but I damn well can’t because I keep looking at your avatar. Is that your girl?
If so, then big ups from West Stains Massive. If not…then big ups from West Stains Massive, just for putting the picture up.
Back to the crazies.

Most of the science officers are just exceptional researchers/MD’s.
You want the blue uniform and tricorder don’t you Mufasa.
She may have been an astronaut, but she was still human.
You know, faults and frailties, all that.
Just to add to what vroom said…
Life is nowhere near as exact; and it can’t be quantitated, manipulated and planned as easily as the World these guys are in…
“Life” is a bitch…

HOUSTON…WE HAVE A PROBLEM
I think I heard Letterman make a good point, what kind of car gets 900 miles out of 1 tank of gas?

To fly that many airplanes, it is impossible to be proficient in them all. Padding the resume of our golden boys and girls in the military has gotten to the point of ridiculous and this episode is one of the results. You can ruin a person by making them a god.
Is it just me or…
Hmmmm.
LOL, Kayrob!
The resemblance to “Lover Boy” is actually uncanny!
“VagiClean,” huh ? What’s the matter, honey? Little extra cheese on the taco ?"
“Excuse me…!”
“No, excuse ME! There’s no tag on this!”
“Price check on “VagiClean”, aisle five; I repeat. Price check on VagiClean, aisle five. That’s VagiClean”.

…“Put a rush on that…”
It was tacky…but funny!
