- kazoomaloo, on 05/15/2009, -1/+52That lady's not wearing heavy boots! She should be floating away if she's on the moon.
- DarkBlueAnt, on 05/15/2009, -0/+38You could have been an astronaut.
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -2/+37Astronauts are some of the most focused professionals out there but they still think about sex constantly. I love being a man.
- ChrisInTheDark, on 05/15/2009, -1/+31I especially liked the glob of drool oozing out of the astronaut's mouth........ :)
- ELee, on 05/15/2009, -0/+30FYI - some of the back story about the checklist..
http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum36/HTML/00024 ...
From the Apollo 16 mission comes one of the most highly estimated lots in the sale- a cuff mounted check list used on the surface of the moon. Presented to backup Commander Fred Haise by astronaut Charles M. Duke after his Apollo 16 flight, the checklist was used during the second and third lunar surface exploration periods by Duke. It was exposed to the lunar environment for over 12 hours and had lunar dust embedded in to several sheets as Duke turned each leaf with his dust coated lunar glove. The checklist's authenticity is further evidenced by a photo of Duke wearing this check list while touching a large lunar boulder. Considering its direct contact with the moon and the lingering proof of its trip in the form of moon dust, the coveted lot is estimated at $200/300,000. This lot is being sold to benefit the non-profit Infinity Science Center, located near NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.
Guardian: For sale: cheeky mementos of the moonshot pranksters
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/apr/27/spac ...
After a textbook landing, Charlie Duke climbed down to the dusty surface of the moon, unpacked the Apollo 16 rover and checked his manual to see what to do next. Instead of more technical instructions, he found a hand-drawn cartoon of an astronaut embracing a buxom, naked woman.
The prank illustration, added by mischievous support crew back on Earth, followed a tradition of sneaking Snoopy cartoons and other joke pictures into the astronauts' spiral-bound checklists. The one used by Duke, still grey with moon dust, was presented to fellow astronaut Fred Haise as a thank-you for his role as backup commander on the 1972 mission. - Nicoon, on 05/15/2009, -2/+29This is actually pretty good.

- tgui, on 05/15/2009, -0/+19Sigh, this is getting like the old beowulf cluster memes...
To make this one work well, correct comma placement is paramount.
NOT
Damn, space you horny!
YES
Damn space, you horny!
Still not funny but better.
Example:
Damn nature, you scary!
High level posters are able to mix and match. Work up to this:

Equipment list. Check
Moon boobies. Check - kurfu, on 05/15/2009, -0/+7If an astronaut were to do that today, he would get fired for sexual harassment, or at least sent to a "re-education" class..
- rotarychainsaw, on 05/15/2009, -0/+6So do you!

"LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 27: The cuff mounted checklist worn by NASA astronaut Charles Duke on the surface of the moon is displayed at Bonhams on April 27, 2009 in London, England. Thepiece which is expected to fetch between $200,000 and $300,00 USD makes up part of an historic collection of space exploration objects to go under the hammer at the auction house on July 16, 2009." - DarkBlueAnt, on 05/15/2009, -0/+6PORN IN SPAAAAAACE
- fluidfoundation, on 05/15/2009, -0/+6My God, it's full of stars...
- techdever, on 05/15/2009, -0/+6he accidentally the whole thing???
- AndrewRidgely, on 05/15/2009, -1/+6Was that a gag left there for him by the ground crew? I wish the article elaborated a bit more.
- Super6, on 05/15/2009, -1/+6FTW " between $200,000 and $300,00 USD"
200,000 to 300? That's quite a range - Duggan360, on 05/15/2009, -0/+4WAIT! Thats not drool!
- sponeil, on 05/15/2009, -1/+5Makes you wonder how many "classified" experiments they do up there when the female astronauts go up. Scientists are interested in finding out about how ALL of life's biological functions are affected by micro-gravity, after all. And I'm sure scientific curiosity is the only reason they'd consider it. ;-)
- ProfessorLX, on 05/15/2009, -0/+4reminds me of an old school mad magazine cartoon
- sponeil, on 05/15/2009, -2/+5I'm pretty sure it cost less than a penny. If you assume that the astronauts needed to take a notebook with them for various reasons, and if you assume they didn't use every page for business reasons, it would be like throwing away thousands of tax dollars to not find ways to use extra pages.
Also, given the fact that astronauts need a little recreation from time to time, one sheet of paper seems like a pretty cheap way for astronauts to amuse themselves. - Namco, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3Dugg for being Freddo's checklist. I hope Infinity Science Center gets a boatload of ca$h for it.
- bigjakyak, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3When you are an astronaut you can be dead and still get with hot women.
- Nicoon, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3It's a space station!
- nard3456, on 05/16/2009, -0/+3Zero G boobs... awesome.
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -2/+5It's difficult to predict the final price at an auction or are you just trying to be clever about their typo?
- Nicoon, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3Hah. The exact same thing came to mind when I first saw this. :)
- TBombadil, on 05/15/2009, -0/+2hahaha
- ZeeZee2k, on 05/15/2009, -1/+3That sounds like an interesting experiment, I would like to volunteer.
- jba68, on 05/15/2009, -0/+2mmmm drooool
- TyrannousDotNet, on 05/15/2009, -0/+1im not saying they should not have done it, im just stating the theoretical cost.
- BrownieMix, on 05/15/2009, -1/+2SPAAAACE PORN!!
- Residents, on 05/15/2009, -2/+3Looks like someone was missing his earthly opposites.
- derekmas10, on 05/15/2009, -1/+2that drawing is out of this world!
- IKORKYI, on 05/15/2009, -1/+2@ sponeil
you're honestly protesting that comment? wait, i'm protesting yours. dammit... - onsenguy, on 05/15/2009, -1/+2The astronaut didn't draw this, a member of the ground support crew did before the mission even launched. There were blank pages in the checklist and the ground crew added cartoons and doodles to provide the astronaut with something to break the tension.
Boobies notwithstanding, owning something that has real moon dust on it would be something. -
