Maybe they're studying the effects of zero-gravity on articulation. ;)

Ooops. My bad. I didn't even read the thread. Just had to get it out there. It still makes sense though.

You do realize it wasn't the reason they went up, right?

Toilet fixing is a waste of time. Bag-like advanced things are way superior.

You do realize that absolutely EVERYTHING on board a spacecraft is taken into consideration when calculating fuel, right?

Buzz Lightyear. Lame. I guess that's what you get when all of the astronauts aren't old enough to have raised children during the '70s or '80s. We need some G.I. Joe Adventure Team or Transformers up there. Where the hell is Payload from the '80s G.I. Joe?

I sent a figure to space once... strapped it to a model rocket filled with 3 2-stage D engines. Sucker flew so far up I couldn't see it anymore with binoculars, but I saw the final BOOM at the end. :D
