From the humor site McSweeney's:A LETTER TO ELTON JOHN FROM THE OFFICE OF THE NASA ADMINISTRATOR. quote:
This letter is to inform you of your termination from the NASA astronaut program. Our decision comes after a great deal of deliberation, and while we take no pleasure in terminating you, we felt it was the only choice we had.Your offenses have been many. To begin with, we had hoped that after all the hundreds of hours of training you received, you would understand the measures in place to prepare a crew for a launch. So when you showed up, preflight, with a bag packed by your wife, that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. ...

Elton did actually marry a lass named Renate Blauer (sp?) here in Sydney on Valentine's Day a few years back. But of course he's now remarried ... 'nuff said.Colin | |
