America Under Attack: Astronauts
A Posts entry from Tuesday, February 6, 2007
Today, it seems everywhere we look we find Astronaut culture. Children eat dehydrated ice cream and play with astronaut toys. Astronaut fashion is all the rage within the youth culture, as are golf carts modified to look like rocket cars. At times it seems overwhelming. What happened to the culture we used to know?
Indeed, it seems hard to imagine a world without velcro shoes, drinks made out of powder and roving gangs of moon buggies.
As of 2006, a total of 450 people had travelled to space. That’s for the entire world, so the American numbers are probably less than that. But, how many astronauts have been elected to the senate and house? A terrifying amount?
I’ve found about 11, although I believe that estimate is low, as I didn’t search for very long and many might secretly have been astronauts in their youth. Check out the Biographies of Aerospace Officials and Policymakers and you’ll see the tremendous amount of influence the space lobby has in Washington. They spend billions of dollars throwing complicated machinery into space to the point where space has become so cluttered with their garbage that it threatens our way of life. But who’s responsible for this satellite addiction in the first place?
Pre-NASA this wouldn’t have been an issue, ever since the “space-based communication” boom of last century, the global economy has become completely dependent on space technology. NASA is the pusher, and we’re the junkie. They have us by the throat.
You may ask, “Why is this a problem? Sure my kid likes astronauts, but is that so bad?” You idiot, it is. There is a fundamental difference between astronauts and regular Americans. Space people think they’re “too good” for the earth. That’s why they’re always trying to leave it. They’re all about change and exploration and moving to the future. But, what happened to family values? They’ve been stuffed into a toothpaste food and fed to the nearest jacked up adreneline astornazi with a superiority complex. Plus astronauts just look creepy.
While the NASA illuminati and astronazis widdle away our earthly values in government, they are also doing it in the press. Former astronaut Lisa Nowak, who’s astroname is O-345B, an ex-mechanical arm operator was recently arrested for wearing a wig and a trench-coat while driving across state lines in diapers. Oh and kidnapping and attempted murder.

But what’s more interesting is her astronaut tool bag:
During a check of the parking lot, an officer followed Nowak and watched her throw away a bag containing the wig and BB gun. They also found a steel mallet, a 4-inch folding knife, rubber tubing, $600 and garbage bags inside a bag Nowak was carrying when she was arrested, authorities said.
Inside Nowak’s vehicle, which was parked at a nearby motel, authorities uncovered a pepper spray package, an unused BB-gun cartridge, latex gloves and e-mails between Shipman and Oefelein. They also found a letter “that indicated how much Mrs. Nowak loved Mr. Oefelein,” an opened package for a buck knife, Shipman’s home address and hand written directions to the address, the arrest affidavit said.
This list may seem very strange and mostly innocuous to a normal earth-loving American, but in the hands of an astronaut it can only mean trouble. As you can see from this video taken from Apollo 13, NASA specializes in making strange devices out of random objects:
If they can build a CO2 convertor from those bizarre objects, what can they do with a BB-gun, some gloves, knives, wigs, rubber tubing, $600 and E-mails? Perhaps we’ll never know, but thank god she was caught in time.
The bottom line is astronauts should not be allowed to roam the streets. At the very least there should be a three day waiting period on any purchases of seemingly random objects, especially if any sort of tubing is involved. Steps should also be taken to educate our children about the dangers of the “astronaut lifestyle” and to educate voters about the death grip NASA has on American politics. Our only weapon is knowledge. Spread the word.

You know what I hate most about astronauts? Their haircuts are always invariably dated.
Zach Cullen
Wow. What a surprise, Mark doesn’t like astronauts. How do you suppose we deal with ‘em Mark, build a giant detainment camp up in space to round them all up in? Astronauts and their supporting organizations have selflessly contributed more to the betterment of mankind than any other group of people in the world. There is NO conspiracy to impregnate the American population with mind controlling alien brain spiders. You need to drop all this Astronaut hate.

It was the part about “wearing diapers” that seemed to grab the attention of every reporter. We need more research. How many former astronauts wear diapers to avoid rest stops?
Rachael Brown
Why not wear diapers to avoid rest stops? The elderly do it all the time!
Bryan Klausmeyer
I don’t mind the idea of wearing a diaper to urinate. What I do mind is the needless waste of such a valuable by product. NASA has already developed a technology to convert urine into drinking water for space missions, which is in fact being used in Iraq.

If they could somehow incorporate a catheter filtration system into the space diapers, I’d be all for that.
Rachael Brown
Would that whole catheter thing really be necessary considering the fact that reentry tends to only take like 20 hours?
But then again, waste not want not.

Your grandmother is terribly obsessed with this woman.
I fear for our mother’s brains if the old woman starts chatting about diapers and crazy astronauts again.
I suppose hate of astronauts is hereditary of some sort.
Alayna Frankenberry
Am I alone in my admiration for this woman? You have to admire someone who has enough pure rage that they’ll sit in their own shit for hours rather than halt that rage for 3 minutes. I can only aspire to a rage that encompassing. Sigh.
Rachael Brown
Oh, come on Alayna… How can you defend her? You saw her hair.
Bryan Klausmeyer
That’s what Alayna’s hair is going to look like after all of the dying.
s0fa
yeah astronaut hair always seemed a little behind in the times. anyways, this lady freaks me out.
s0fa
oh btw, there is nothing wrong with dehydrated ice cream.
