    Raccoons are usually docile, but experimentation has proved they get a little feisty when exposed to prolonged weightlessness and Tang.

      I think you're on to something, you're describing exactly what I experienced back in 197?, I just didn't know it was the Tang...hmmm

      Raccoons have hands just like humans, mine use to get in the pantry, open jars of peanut butter, jelly and make sandwhichs.

          They have a hard time with sandwiches, historically, as they have a compulsion to was their food leaving the PB&J a soggy sticky lump.

          I certainly hope the crew will be able to diaper that rascal. Just imagine, racoons on the moon. What was JFK thinking?

            JFK was thinking of a FREE moon where raccoons and other mamals (and perhaps the odd lizard or insect, but no spiders, no way) can walk (well, bounce) tall and proud unlike Soviet Russia and Communist China where they shuffle with shoulders slumped under the unforgiving weight of one-party government oppression.

          The Tang period was the golden age of Chinese literature and art. Tang poems in particular are still read today.

            They have an anti-poetry party every year in the state of Washington. It's called the Sink Tang Walla Walla Whiz Bang Party. You should go some time. I think you'd find it fun.

              I think you are thinking about the Poontang period.

            The same genius who designed the raccoon space suit. Once the suit was made, you gonna leave him home?

            More fun than a barrel of monkeys...anyway, they already did monkeys. What's more American than a cute little ball of furry total mass destruction? (other than a two year old covered in grape jelly and the remains of a teddy bear).

            Only problem is, with live WMD on board, the space staion could get shot out of the sky. And they still would miss bin Laden...

                Personally, I wouldn't trust any animal that wears a mask...
