The guys at NASA are heroes. This is an organization composed entirely of rocket scientists, astronauts, and firemen, for when the previous two screw up. That possibility -- that the million gallons of combustible fuel could do the "e-word" at any time -- didn't scare off a previous generation of space-adventurers: they laughed it off with drink, smokes, and porn. They couldn't be bigger American heroes without revealing G.I. Joe as a red.

Vital space supplies. Come on, you know Captain Kirk would have approved (and personally tested) all of them

All the above items were once hidden on board real space launches. Cigarettes and Cutty Sark scotch were hidden behind the instrument panel of the Sigma 7 spacecraft, and that's how lunatic these adventurers were. What sane-thinking individual would say, "This electronic system is vital to my survival, so I'll shove a bottle of liquid in there!" Our favorite bit is how the cigarettes are now up for auction (as smoking in a sealed space capsule is even more suicidal than smoking normally is) -- but the scotch is nowhere to be seen.

Also: what is it about astronauts and porn?

It's amazing how we got to the moon when haircut technology was still so primitive

We've already seen how the Apollo mission had Moon Porn, a phrase we're delighted to be able to use again (Moon Porn!), but by Apollo 12 they'd upgraded to color technology. The very friendly "De De Lind" was smuggled aboard the Apollo 12 capsule, and can be yours if you bid on thethis space memorabilia auction. Just realize that after traveling 475,000 miles, this girl has been around.
