7 Stupidest Things To Have Ever Happened In Space

The very best Earth has to give? Really?

Space It is the pinnacle of human achievement. To have sent brave men and women into the cold dark other. To have subjected our bravest, brightest and most highly trained astronauts to the strange and dangerous area outside the warm and safe confines of our very home. There have been deaths, which were all tragedies, and there have been triumphs - both cultural and scientific. A handful of the luckiest humans alive have stood on our moon, and had the opportunity to look back on the entire Earth. To have seen every human that has lived or is living. But, like all things human, no endeavour of mankind could be without the frivolity, stupidity and the simply joy we have in experiencing adventure together. From the tales of 1001 Nights, through to Gulliver's Travels, to the modern adventures of Indiana Jones - all of our great adventures contain humour, laughter and joy. It is perfectly reasonable then, that the greatest adventure of our real life should also be full of the same laughter, humour and joy. Astronauts may be the very best Earth has to offer, but they're only the best apes when it comes down to throwing poop. Here then, are the seven stupidest things to have happened in space.
