Oops.







The owner of this car, an American NCP Car Parks employee - who used to work for NASA - managed to forget that he had a 15ft retractable mast stuck to the roof of his car as he drove under a low barrier at a car park in Luton, Bedfordshire.

Des Carmody, who took a picture of the calamity, said: 'There was a loud bang and I turned to see the car rising up in the air to settle on its tailgate.'

Please don't get me started with NASA
They will never solve the mystery of space toilets-no amount of money

That looks painful.

NASA has created many things today that we take for granted. Things that were originally designed for the space program.

Don't know what you're referring to. What do you think they use while in orbit?

The astronauts I've dealt with say that is usually the first questions kids ask, no surprize there. They have a "practice" unit, very bizarre.

Not so sure that's bizarre. I mean, if you didn't get it right the first time, it would be best if your error wasn't floating around to haunt you.

Well, the practice toilet has a video camera mounted under it, the monitor is in front of you... Helps you learn how to position yourself correctly... Ugh, an image I wouldn't want! True enough, it's another area of the space program where there is no room for error!
