Aloksak for Astronauts?
March 8th, 2006
I got a call today from a local guy, who’d found us as a Bay Area source for Aloksak waterproof bags. He said that he needed a couple of packs of them, and that he’d like to pick them up today. He also mentioned that he worked in Mountain View, at the NASA Ames Research Center. Close by I thought, so offered to deliver the order. I met him outside the gate at Moffett Field and gave him his order.
As he was getting into his car I asked him, “So, what are you going to use the Aloksak bags for?”. He said, and I’m not making this up: “We’re going to see if we can get the astronauts to go to the bathroom in them.”
You suppose I was privy (as it were) to classified information?
