what's the most pressing concern for astronauts aboard the space shuttle?

you guessed it: coffee.
bad weather has kept 'em up there for an extra 3 days and they're running out of the world's favorite beverage.

the captain actually "jokingly" requested returning to the under-construction space station to get some more. why did those heartless guys at mission control refuse him?

as a correspondant said to me, "where's the coffee-flavored tang? it's the space program, dammit!" (nb: kraft has websites for most of its beverages but not tang. why?)

at any rate, the shuttle finally landed this evening. here's an after-dinner cup to you, fly boys!
