NASA to Use a Human Cannonball Instead of Shuttle
By: Eyal Wirsansky , Posted On: Sunday, January 28, 2007
NASA is getting ready to launch astronauts to space using a new, specialized and highly efficient launcher. Comprising a cannon, a trampoline and an intricate set of springs, the new launcher will be replacing the antiquated and unsafe space shuttles for a fraction of the cost, while limiting the risk to one crew member at a time, who will be shot out of the cannon - literally - to the moon, or anywhere else in space. After initial difficulties to locate an enthusiastic test subject, NASA spokesmen, Jon Con, made clear that the appropriate volunteer will get plenty of publicity while performing a wildly insane act. Within a day, scores of celebrities, including Robin Williams, Jim Carrey and Gallagher, have lined up for the part. After a fierce, 'Survivor' style competition, the dark horse (or, perhaps the dark fowl) was Gonzo the Great, who is notoriously renowned for his Muppet Show stunts. The first test flight (code name "Be Gone Gonzo") is scheduled to lift off from Fake Canaveral next week, pending completion of extensive paperwork, such as insurance waivers and a living will. "I spent my entire life trying to prove that I am no chicken" - said Gonzo the Great in a special interview, intensifying the mystery that surrounds his specie of origin - "and finally I got my chance, since everybody knows that chickens can't fly". In a later statement, Gonzo mentioned that during his flight, he plans to look for his long lost friends - "Pigs in Space". According to NASA engineers, this new Totem Pole design is guaranteed to protect the space station from the bad luck that haunted their previous projects. Some experts have noted the resemblance of this new space station's head to Gonzo the Great. It has been theorized that the station was intended to double as a monument in case the cannon launch does not yield the expected outcome.
