Space Tourist Standards

Snuffleupagus writes: "I found an interesting story at cnn.com about NASA's new standards for civilian space travel. It looks like if you have a history of drinking, lying and cheating you won't be going into space anytime soon, no matter how much money you have. Looks like I'll be stuck here on Earth for awhile." The guidelines for future space tourists are on NASA's site.

National ID?

Would the new National ID card be enough to get me on the shuttle? If it's good enough for the airlines, it should be good enough for NASA.

You'd think by now they would have come up with a way to filter out these damn page widening posts. It ruins a person's viewing/reading experience...

Offtopic? I don't think so. This requires reading beyond, perhaps, a 3rd grade level. This is a simile. You know, a comparison using 'like' or 'as'. In this instance, I was comparing the 'rules' of NASA with the 'rules' of the various organ donor networks.

What you perhaps didn't like was that I referred to an overly worshipped drunken whore from NY in a derogatory manner.

So the man could swing a stick and throw a ball. BFD. He was still a drunk. He wasn't a hero, he was a drunk. Walk through the streets of any urban environment in the US, and you'll find plenty of drunks who were just as deserving of a liver.
