Draft Guidelines for Space Tourists

IZ Reloaded writes "Draft guidelines for space tourists have already been written in the United States." From the article: "A paying customer will now be able to fly into space once he has been informed and accepts the risks of space travel. There are several factors to take into account, depending on whether a passenger is taking a speedy "pop top," up-and-down, suborbital voyage, versus climbing onboard space machinery to roar off into orbit for an extended stay."

Re:What happens when...

The real question is, what would happen if someone took a dump outside on the space elevator. And the answer dum dum dum is you would have lots of poop in an orbit around the earth. Maybe someday we will have a ring of poop surrounding the earth preventing future space travel from ever happening.

Please Keep "Draft" Out of Headlines

I know President Bush says the draft isn't going to happen, that it is just Rumors on the Internets... but nothing makes this pasty, unathletic geek panic more than hitting slashdot and seeing "Draft Guidelines for" ***PANIC MODE*** "Space Tourists" *Sigh of Relief*

So thank you for the Monday morning fright, Slashdot. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to change my pants.

Support the First Amendment. Read at -1

Wrong. The First Amendment guarantees you the right to speech. It doesn't guarantee you the right to an audience. You can still say whatever the heck you want, even if it's modded -1. I can freely choose not to read it (also -- by extension -- the First Amendment: Freedom of Association).
