NASA investigators inadvertently
revealed the secret of one of our
rare successes. An honest mistake
told the world how we persuade
smart people to climb on top
of a rocket and go into space:

they’re fueled with liquid courage.

Outraged drunk driving foes don’t
realize astronauts can’t steer or brake,
and rarely see another spaceship,
much less a bike or pedestrian.
Of course, instead of strapping drunks
to seats to escape a tower of fire,

we could send sober computers.
