Don't know if anyone's been reading about the astronaut stalker woman, but the first sentence alone in this story makes me wonder just what they're putting in the Tang over at NASA...
Apparently astronauts often wear diaper-like garments WHEN IN SPACE because...well, the alternatives are rather complicated, etc. So this was nothing to her...to us, however...
I can say with full confidence that if I were strapped in to a chair on top of a couple hundred tons of combustible fuel and about to go hurtling through the atmosphere at massively hypersonic speeds into a place where the very smallest error or mistake would mean hideous instant death, I'd want to be wearing a diaper too.
