What Bowie should have put in the lyrics to 'Space Oddity'
Thos enterprising people at The Smoking Gun have the answer, having got hold of a NASA memo on dealing with an astronaut flipping out:
"NASA officials suggest that crew members subdue the unstable astronaut with duct tape and bungee cords and inject the patient with a "potent tranquilizer".
Would have made 'Dark Star' a lot duller too.

Sounds like a plan for dealing with Tony Blair in some of his more outré moments.

Bomb number 20 exploding is intentionality at its best but once it had done it did it experience a different conciousness or had it emptied its existence by exploding?
Me, I'd have got back into the bomb bay and had a longer think, though Bomb 20 certainly had decision and courage.
