It's only February, but I think I can safely say that this news story is going to go down as one of my favorites (since no one got hurt) of the year. Any story that involves a bunny boiling diaper-wearing jilted astronaut is aces in my book. I'm already thinking about who should play whom in the inevitable Lifetime movie:

LOL, I've been following this all day. It's like a train wreck...eeek.

My SO is an Aeronautical Engineer and I married into a large "NASA" family....so this is like a big soap opera for us.

Most amazing: how in the world did she pass all the psych evaluation???

Heck, when I drove from Las Vegas to Missouri in June of 05, it never occured to me to wear diapers and spare myself pee stops! I tried the bottle trick...but I hit a pothole at a critical moment on 40 in the Texas Panhandle and ended up rinsing the windshield from within....
Diapers would have been far more convenient and practical. Who'd a thunk it?

So many new technologies and reapplications of old technologies come thanks to NASA...

Watch for a run on Pampers tomorrow!

Pretty soon we'll be standing behind someone in the checkout line with a couple of packs of disposable diapers and we'll automatically ask:
"Oh, I see you're going on a long trip! Where to?"

LOL. Man, I should've been wearing Pampers when I read that. Now I've gotta go change....

Somewhere out there, there's an advertising team working on turning this into pure gold for a Pampers ad campaign.

LMAO!!!!! This story is a hoot. The whole diapers thing is just nuts. I mean did she not have to stop for gas either? Really run to the potty while the tank is filling up or did she take gas cans w/ her? I'm betting they change the physch exam after this one.

Adults wearing diapers. eewwww. Believe we heard this on the radio, some guy called in saying he and his buddies would wear diapers to the big games so they would not have to get up and go. After the game they would go in the bathroom and take them off and throw them away - guess no one was in there when they did. But seriously can you imagine sitting there rooting on your team and thinking, "I've gotta pee" and then just doing it? YUCK!!!!!!!!! So not normal.
