See, the realism of Space Camp is astounding... using duct tape to restrain psychotic crewmates is official NASA policy!

And people wonder why we tell them to bring duct tape to camp... (As if they don't have enough of the stuff there already...)

yeah on my Atlantis Level II mission we had a "sick" crew member who overplayed his ailment to "psychotic" levels. i remember one of the mission specialists kept pumping him full of shots of valium and locked him in the airlock. see, us Space Campers have known how to deal with unruly astronauts for years!

I have been restrained with duct tape a number of times, both at camp and at school...

We duct taped a kid to a tree at Scout jamboree once, even if he wasn't unruly. It made a good totem pole though, heavy, but good.
