Lisa Nowak and Astro Diapers

Read this article a long time back and had meant to blog on it.Found time only now.

So this American astronaut drove nearly 900 miles to pepper spray the girlfriend of her former love interest.Weren't astronauts supposed to be bright?At least Jeanie in 'I Dream of Jeanie' used to think so.I am beginning to think otherwise.Did she really have to drive? Couldn't she have just flown down?Or why the need for a physical presence when she could have just called up, if all she wanted to do was to just give her a little scare.It worries me that these specimen are the brightest that human kind could offer after so many years of evolution

Another interesting point is that she she wore special NASA diapers for the journey.I was a bit surprised to know that NASA actually made such things.I wonder what these NASA diapers are like? Can these astros fly back and forth to the moon without a nappy change?More importantly, was Neil Armstrong wearing a diaper when he landed on the moon?It kind of makes the whole landing on the moon stuff so off putting.Kind of like coming to know that your stern looking manager wears floral underwear.(The manager being male of course)

I hear that the Chinese are planning to land one of their own on the moon.I bet there is a Chinese astronaut praying somewhere that unlike most goods Chinese this diaper does actually undergo a quality control test.
