    NASA's plan for unstable astronauts: Duct tape, tranquilizers


    • NASA has a plan for dealing with a mentally unstable astronaut in space
    • Instructions: Bind the astronaut's wrists and ankles and tie them down
    • Inject the out-of-control astronaut with tranquilizers if necessary
    • A gun would not be used; a bullet could pierce a spaceship and kill everyone

    Makes sense to me...

    I wonder if I can transfer residencies to go to the space station.

    It is rumored that the next Doctor Who companion will be a medical student. Now that's an elective I would have loved - travelling through space and time!

    Space tourists!? That's definitely an enriched group of nutters.

    They should be hiring a full time psychiatric staff for the space station soon if they let too many space tourists on the Mir.
