T O P I C R E V I E WRobert PearlmanBREAKING NEWS: Astronaut Stolen From Kennedy Space CenterWPXI has the full report plus photos of the missing astronaut.Mr MeekClever name.What does one do with a fiberglass astronaut statue in Kennedy Township, PA? Sit him outside the Lincoln-Erickson Mall?Jay ChladekI just hope they don't start taking him around the country and photographing him like a garden gnome.My guess is it is probably some college student prank, probably a fraternity initiation as it sounds like they carefully planned it and took it off the foundation properly as opposed to doing something stupid like driving a truck into it to break the feet off and taking the rest for a spin in the back.Hopefully it will be located and in reasonably good shape as I know I wouldn't want anybody screwing with something I created.ASCAN1984Well he has been on duty at the gates for many years. All work and no play as they say. Maybe he is off on vacation or to book himself one of those flights and make himself a space tourist after seeing Buzz Light year do it earlier in the year. "I just hope they don't start taking him around the country and photographing him like a garden gnome." Maybe we might see an addition to the STS 125 crew manifest ASCAN1984Any more news on the astronaut. Has the statue been recovered?GarethpaulushumungusIt's back!! On Monday, police said an anonymous tip led to an apartment, where they found the statue.
