is it too late to make a 'flight risk' joke?

How bizarre.

Though I find it less shocking (than every cable news show on at the gym this afternoon) to discover that astronauts might be just as prone to being screwed up as the general population. If anything, I'd think they'd be more so--to strap yourself into a contraption that propels itself straight up by a massive explosion and returns to earth in free fall with an approximately 2% failure rate (about the same chances of getting pregnant if you only ever use condoms, for reference) you have to be a little crazy, don't you?

Anyway, this is only the most recent example of the astronaut menace. God, I hate those guys.
