"The Onion" has fun with the Shuttle
As usual:
http://www.theonion.com/content/news...sists_on_every "The insufferable perfectionist's fixation goes beyond ship maintenance and safety, however. In the past six months, Wilkins has totally smothered Discovery astronauts, forcing them to complete endless navigation simulations, practice sea survival techniques despite the lack of water in space, and train for all kinds of hypothetical emergency evacuations, the vast majority of which will never even happen." One of the funniest and most subtle things they've ever written, IMHO. :-D Pat |

It's fine," Pat |
