astronaut

Yes, it ended well, but the rough-and-tumble landing that astronauts experienced recently as a Soyuz capsule on its way back from the International Space Station missed its landing target by 300 miles sure doesn't sound like something you'd want to do twice.

The new Cooltone pony fridge looks like it's been designed for astronaut picnics on the Moon, but it wouldn't be bad for a day out on the deck, either. The pint-sized fridge holds up to 20 cans of the beverage of your choice, and six bottles of wine. Plug it in and it starts cooling instantly, using an efficient air re-circulation system that won't burn up the atmosphere. It has a built-in CD player on top for those of you still holding on to the endangered discs and, more importantly, an iPod or MP3 jack so you can play DJ.—Gregory Mone
