1. I couldn't do that sober!

lol

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

2. Please...

If I am about to get blasted into space in a tin can on top of a few million tons of explosives, I am going to be fucking baked.

3. How can you NOT be plastered and do that?

I don't even drink and I've been saying ever since the story broke -- I'd be shocked
if they weren't drunk.

4. All these topics of Paul Harvey Americana soundbites . . .

what's a Republican stuck in 1955 to do?

5. HEY! That was a VERY good year!

:rofl:

6. Hell, that only shows you the functional stuff in orbit!

There's about 8000 chunks of junk up there. Anything bigger then 6 inches is tracked by the USAF Space Command. If you but those objects into J-Track, you wouldn't be able to see thru the cloud.

Remember the movie "The Right Stuff"? Some of those women came close to doing "all seven of the Mercury astronauts"
