Title: Space Shuttle Astronauts making fun...
Post by: Hyphon on July 23, 2008, 07:50:35 AM

Beside all serious missions and prfessional "routine" in space, some Astronauts just making fun and jokes...

Anyone know's some video's or picture's?

I found one picture on wikipedia.de from STS-51A:

It shows Dale Gardner holding a "For Sale" sign up, after catching two satellite's  for transportation back to earth.
