If *I* almost got freeze-dried in orbit, I’d probably have a few drinks, too!
wtf I woulda drank the whole bottle after that
Linenger was a nervous wreck the entire time he was on Mir.
And he launched Space Shuttle, the most dangerous human carrying spacecraft ever flown!
Thanks for embarrassing us in front of the Russians, Jerry. Nerd.
