It looks like shuttle humor is becoming acceptable.  In the 18 Feb 1986
_San Fransisco Chronicle_ there was a political cartoon showing a shuttle
taking off and somebody labelled 'Booster Inspector' tied to the right SRB,
where the fatal Challenger leak apparently was.  The cartoon was titled
'Civilians in Space' or 'The Next Civilian in Space' or something to that
effect.

I thought it was pretty funny if rude.  The look on the inspector's face
was priceless.
