  • megamod, on 11/24/2008, -3/+16more things for them to lose in space
  • jasdf, on 11/24/2008, -1/+14I think that this picture was taken in space. Stuff floats in space. I doubt that anyone could lift that unless they were very strong. Maybe it is foam. It sort of looks like a freezer. The man must be happy.
  • replaysMike, on 11/24/2008, -1/+12Cool beans.
  • chumpbuster, on 11/24/2008, -4/+13Who here ordered the pepperoni?
  • roctimo, on 11/24/2008, -0/+9You are ridiculous and I enjoy it.
  • Kristijan12, on 11/24/2008, -0/+8we all do.
  • dustout, on 11/24/2008, -0/+8it is impossible if you have a handicap, or don't have perfect vision, or are colour blind
  • gfxlonghorn, on 11/24/2008, -0/+7Let's see... Getting a ton of education, working your way up all your life only to find out that you still only have a 1/1000 chance to get to go up in space even if you have all the education to back it up is not worth it. I'm content waiting until commercial space flight where I don't have to join the Air Force after double majoring in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.
  • TWallaceWD, on 11/24/2008, -0/+7Digg comments are approaching a YouTube level for this article.
  • Sharik, on 11/24/2008, -1/+8It's our most qualified astronaut in space.
  • fauxXenophanes, on 11/24/2008, -1/+7The new Refrigerator is here!
  • Atomic05, on 11/24/2008, -0/+6....I want to go into space.
  • gfxlonghorn, on 11/24/2008, -0/+5It's weird that this stuff doesn't impress me anymore... I know exactly where this lady lives, and her son was in a few of my classes(no stalker). I guess that's what you get when you live a mile away from JSC. My friend almost texted her son to rag on him when she was the first person to drop stuff in space.

    I'm going to take a guess and say that our elementary school was probably the only one that had talks from several astronauts a year.
  • shimmyNshake, on 11/24/2008, -0/+5No doubt. If you've ever had the opportunity to play with a 500 lb bank vault door, you know what thats like. You're thinking, "wow , cool, I can move this heavy door with one finger." Then when you try to stop it from moving, it knocks you on your ass. Lesson learned.
  • cle2105, on 11/24/2008, -2/+7They probably get so much tail
  • D3koy, on 11/24/2008, -0/+5Best Job Ever
  • borez, on 11/24/2008, -0/+4Cool bananas
  • Lhandroval, on 11/24/2008, -0/+4Of course, you still have that pesky inertia to deal with in space.
  • AKAtheFalcon, on 11/24/2008, -0/+4I think it's a ukulele.
  • fakekevinrose, on 11/24/2008, -0/+4i trust canadarm more than hal9000
  • AkronGuy, on 11/24/2008, -0/+4What is that, a ukulele on his side?
  • gfxlonghorn, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3Not worth it. Having parents both work for them at some point, keys me in to the fact they underpay everyone(including astronauts) like crazy. Although at least the astronauts get to go in Space I guess.
  • vroom101, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3Lost in space, 18 November 2008: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle ... (spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-126/hires/s126e008146.jpg)

  • voldron, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3So that is where he disappeared to for the first 18 years of my life
  • sailadayaway, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3They don't use locking carabiners for their tethers?!?!? No wonder they lost their tool bag...
  • chmstar, on 11/24/2008, -6/+9Fake, no stars in the background :)
  • morphinapg, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Even though it has no weight, wouldn't it still have mass? Making it still pretty hard to move without a lot of force I would assume.
  • bewareofthecow, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2You can't quite see the logo on the Canadarm :(
  • whatwhatwhoa, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or truly naive
  • recruz, on 11/24/2008, -1/+3*Just another day at the office ... *

    Astronaut: "I'd rather be on digg right now reading some funny comments"
  • StevesJobs, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2Buried for lack of intelligibility.
  • MitchC, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Canada FTW!
  • acegi, on 11/24/2008, -1/+3dont give that to that lady who lost toolbox...

    she'll lose that too
  • Pramma, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2I don't mean to be a dick, I'm really curious because I don't know.

    Is it s'pose to be "I wish I *were* an astronaut?"

    Regardless, apparently you have to be a PhD just to do an astronaut's laundry. So best of luck to everybody.
  • thielonious, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2The lighting is spectacular. Takes "available light" to a new level.
  • indochris609, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2That made me laugh way more than I should have for a 21 year old.
  • commenter01, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Yep. That's one bright feather though.
  • LawnMowerKitten, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1That's a good point, I sent an e-mail to the address listed on the same page as the caption. I'll let you know what they have to say if and when they reply.
  • IIECONII, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1http://i34.tinypic.com/w897gw.jpg

    HAHAHA! Take a look at the little "YAAY-I'm-in-SPACE!" guy on the beam!

    I'd like to nominate the name of the beam to be the "YAAAY!" beam. Every time you use it you have to yell YAAAY, even though no one may hear you.
  • zdw216, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1I'm trying to figure out your comment... but I can't
  • sipsyrup, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1There will be more goats. You have been warned.
