The last time I was in space, my pants just drifted away from me in the low gravity. As the space station passed over Russia I flashed the Kremlin in very slow motion. It was about to become an international incident when my orbiting undies knocked out a key Star Wars weapon system and brought Medvedev and Obama back to the negotiating table. I think you might have seen recent news about the proposed Start 2 Treaty, which essentially stipulates that all astro-cosmo-nauts should keep their daks on in zero-G in return for a reduction in nukular weapon stockpiles. Personally I’m chuffed my aerospatial gruts have brought peace to the world … not to mention the odd sensation of freeballing to the Blue Danube Waltz. As always I remain, your subservient pantsbot …
For some reason I flashed on the scene near the end of the original “Alien”, where Sigourney Weaver is changing into a space suit, wearing only skimpy undies….(sigh)….
Maxine - go easy on Plight - he hasn’t been the same since that alien abduction incident - besides, if he arrives at the hospital without his pants, it will make the diagnosis much easier….

Very true. They don’t even know what pants are…

No one can even see if you’re wearing pants, if you want to know the truth….

Heck, I don’t even have to be in space to not worry if I am wearing pants. Pants are so overrated.

Plight—I think you should keep your pants on and run, not walk to the nearest mental hospital! :) :) Take water..

But they do care if you have a he-man voice! Imagine, “Houston, we have a problem…” in falsetto.
