| 2. There is precedent for sending politicians into space |
|
We did with John Glenn. Maybe with Chimpy, we could just leave him up there? I can just imagine the astronauts: "Hmmm, Mr. President? Would you be willing to take a little spacewalk and see if you can find the level bubble? It could pose an awful risk to the shuttle, and you're the only one who's intelligent enough to find it".

I'd swap his safety cord with some dental floss so he'd hurtle off into space....

| 7. I can just picture it... |
|
You know the old gag where one of your buddies wants to get in your car, when he gets close, you hit the gas a little, shoot forward a little bit, and repeat the process?
Now imagine this 200 miles upward.

| 10. I'd love to go to Mars - why give Bush what he wants? |
|
Why should Bush have an entire planet to rule? Just send him on a spacewalk to do some minor repairs (but tell him they're vital to our national security so he won't be suspicious), then "accidentally" forget to hook up the safety cord, and let inertia do the rest.
