Default Re: NASA Geek Alert

Hey Emp. I have been on the Space Station and Space Shuttle training mock up, mission control and hung out with the astronauts discussing their space missions. Here is a couple of things that NASA won't tell you. One of their major concerns is astronauts having sex on the Mars mission as well as the current orbitals and space station (and they believe this has already happened). When Shannon Lucid was on Mir breaking records, her biggest complaint was that the cosmonauts smoked endless stinky Russian cigarettes.
I once talked directly to cosmonauts on the Mir station every time they overflew Kuwait in the first Gulf war instructing them on how to use and where to point their video camera with a ginormous lens so we could see where the B52's were flying and where the oil well fires were. Some were in Saudia. Little known facts.
And you don't think I am a Geek.....
