Shuttle. This one not a hoax..........

[Sarah Fox]

Everyone,

Astronauts know the risks.  They take them willingly, not because of any
testosterone high, but because they feel the benefits merit the risks.  I
knew one of the astronauts.  I know he would go again, not because he's
stupid or foolhardy, but because he would feel the benefits STILL merit the
risks.  That's science, and that's the nature of a scientist.  I admit it's
something most people don't understand.
