    Not only is this man awesome, when I read more about him, he's the first astronaut to share TWO launches with bats... really.

    I think it is totally awesome that NASA included one of those valve to inflate helium balloons on the lower right hand side of the EVA suit helmets. I guess this comes in handy when they need to break out some Birthday/Retirement balloons for satellites.

    "Doing push-ups, folding clothes, arm wresting another astronaut, shooting liquid from a straw . . . "


    was the pool of requests put together by 7 year olds and 70 year olds?

    He didn't pick mine, but then it would probably be too difficult and costly to get the horse and the midget up there, along with all that Jell-O brand gelatin desert. Pfft.


    Also, it sounds like this would make a good Photoshop contest.

    Tough call. Sleap with Scarlet Johansson or go into space? Good thing I'll never have to choose.

    @Xeno: Don't know what "sleap" means, so it might indeed be a tough choice ;)


    However.. in my lifetime, a choice between sleeping with a random chic/actress and going to space is an easy one. Space. Besides, upon returning to terra firma, you'd be inundated with sexy requests from lots of women :)
