Astronauts love to make fun at work
Friends and because the astronauts - are people just like you and me, and they are also very fond of joking and joking;) look.
The fact that the profession is not possible without the heroic humor, show many funny things that happen in space. The conquerors of the universe - ordinary people, if not to take into account their exceptional courage and altruism. And, accordingly, they love to joke.
The most famous draw Owen Garriota. This astronaut in 1973 as part of the crew of "Skylab" working on the space station. Going into the flight, he took a tape recorder, which still houses a few phrases recorded his wife to orbit to be able to hear her voice. Once, going once again to communicate with Mission Control Center, he decided to play officer Robert Crippen. Owen brought to the transmitter recorder and turned it on. As a result, between the station and the center of the dialogue took place:
- "Skylab", this Houston, Do You Read?
- Good morning, Houston - said a cheerful female voice. - "Skylab" listening.
The officer in the world was stunned. He decided to clarify:
- Who's the transmitter?
- Bob, it's Helen, wife of Owen.
Bob silent for a moment, wondering what was going on, and then asked:
- What are you doing?
- I decided to prepare the children to eat. Fresh, home - "reassured" him, Helen.
The earth was silent for a minute, then hung up. Apparently, the officer has not lost his nerve.
Thus, Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Lyakhov and Valery Ryumin decided to hit the nerds of the world, demonstrating grown in a greenhouse station "Mir" cucumber. Pundits were delighted: even before the plant ovary prevented, but here are a fruit. They asked not to eat cucumber. They began to think, how to deliver it to the Earth. The scientific community is in ecstasy, as long as the astronauts do not realize that vegetables brought from Earth, and demonstrated secretly tack-welded into orbit orange.
Greetings from aliens.
Another funny story happened to our astronauts on the station. Once Vladimir Kovalyonok, doing mending VCR, forgetfulness is not pulled out of a cassette with the "White Sun of the Desert". After some time, during normal operation, someone mistakenly included some switch, and the hall resounded lingual greeting "Hello, father!»
The astronauts have been assured that they were greeted by aliens. However, moving away from the shock, they realized that it was involved renovated tape their favorite movie.
The case of Vladimir Lyakhov.
This case involved a Russian astronauts. By tradition, the astronauts return from the flight give something to his instructor of the things visited in orbit. Often this is the clock.
For a couple of days before the end of the flight of Vladimir Lyakhov I discovered that he had lost his watch, and every spare minute trying to find them. He checked each panel of an internal upholstery, expecting to find it missing. In the end, there was only one anecdotal panel. It is fastened with bolts fifty. Lyakhov spent a few hours to unwind all of them. When he opened the panel, inside found a note: "There is no clock. Kovalenok! "By the way, at that time his watch Lyakhov never found.
Nothing human is alien astronauts and apart from a sense of humor. Known space diet carefully thought out, but the astronauts tried to "expand».
Cosmonaut Georgy Grechko was one of the first who drank brandy in orbit, with cognac stranger.
"He emerged from the branch with a sports underwear - remember Grechko. - It said "Eleutherococcus K" (Eleutherococcus tincture of alcohol was permitted officially, - Ed.). At first I naively ask what is this "Eleutherococcus". I said with a smile: "Concentrate." It turned out, a gift from the stand-ins. Georgy Grechko, and he makes a similar show. For example, in 1970 it was the first time abroad, in Bulgaria. There's also the first time and saw the canned beer and decided to send it to the guys at the station.
"A little bit smuggled we smuggled beer in this space, - he told the astronaut. - However, they drink it and could not: a drink spilled on the ship ».
Sami crew also not lost, hiding alcohol in the logbook, which was one of the most convenient places for secret cognac - with strong crusts, and even decorated with the emblem of the Soviet Union. The astronauts pulled out recording sheet is inserted into the crust kanistrochku flat, sealed end of the paper and pencil drawing inspired edge pages. At the entrance of the ship was an officer who checked everything on board insertion things for compliance weight statements, and so on. D.
"Our" jar for records "passed - recalled Georgy. - It was only once the officer-inspector whispered: "the next time you drink pour stopper for most, and the in-flight magazine is very gurgles».
By the way, brandy, announced in the form of tinctures "Eleutherococcus K", which said Georgy Grechko, his crew had not finished. "The liquid and air in the space do not weigh the same, so they are mixed and there is a foam is formed, which has not squeeze. And, as we tried to pull out - I could not - remember Georgy Grechko. - We threw the flask. And the next crew told us later that they it still drank. We answer: yes impossible, we tried all the ways. But as it turned out, other astronauts were enterprising: Say that, say, other than higher education, it is necessary to have at least a secondary consideration. "
