So officially there's a no alcohol policy.

BUT unofficially the still run by Chef 2 is "wink wink" allowed.

Just keep it well within safety protocols!

I thought we were going to meet the lady that played Callisto in Xena. I knew New Zealand was pretty far away so I figured 8 years round trip sounded right, but now I understand that I was mislead by the interviewers for this mission.

I mean, I thought all the physical training was because we were going to be in an episode of the show and I don't know if you've ever watched a Xena, but that show has a certain 'eye candy' level that I thought we were supposed to live up to.

I'm sorry, but when half the important poo poo in space is named after the Greco-Roman pantheon, I thought they were describing the episode outline to us.

Like when we had that whole thing about slingshotting past Mars, I figured, "Well, the actor who played Ares passed away, so they must have a new Ares they call Mars. Maybe they're going to have all the old Greek gods replaced by Roman-named versions?! Man, this reboot centering on Callisto fighting Roman gods is going to be awesome!"

I thought we were on an 8 year round trip to Coleco. Figured I'd get to play some Mr. Do, or get a leather stamp or Cabbage Patch Doll or something out of it.

It's practical on two levels: First, on this 8 year round trip, if you were to provide alcohol, it would take up so much storage. And it's heavy! Second, someone getting hammered could be a real threat to the entire crew.

I assume a chef/engineer would make a still, and I also assume as long as it's not flaunted or unsafe it would be "wink wink" allowed. But, not condoned.

Why would there be any guns? There are no aliens out there, no hostile others.

Maybe the Captain/Second have access to a gun in case of some crazy situation, but that would be highly controlled.

You just hold a magnet to your skin near the implant and get jackin' with the other hand, bingo bango bongo. gently caress the narcs.

By the way DrSunshine I do believe your role is invaluable, as the mental health of the crew is fundamental.

What other ideas do you have to promote crew mental health?

Karaoke? Trivia nights? Gamer leagues?

We will be bringing back large amounts of radioactive material from Callisto. But that will be just for the return trip, and it's all stored way down in the central core.

What happens if someone succumbs to space madness or has a little too much of Chef 2’s space hooch? Do we have any sort of sheriff or constable aboard? Is there a holding cell for anyone who might become a danger to themselves or others?

why are we expecting to bring back large amounts of radioactive material from one of the least radiated places in space? are additional orders being unsealed now that we're underway?

From Earth Orbit to Callisto? There's zero chance of aliens or need for guns.
