    As a collector of space memorabilia this one has me a bit amused this morning. Originating from the collection of Charles Bell I'm sure it's real but why anyone might want it is beyond even my comprehension.

    Genuine Apollo era NASA anal probe chair.

    I'm not sure how deep the history of this chair runs but if this chair could talk I'm not sure even I would want to hear what it has to say.

    Looks like a relic from a dementia hostel.
    What use was an anal probe chair, when the men wore suits?

    I think once you hear "Ride the chair and you'll ride a rocket," you muster up the strength.

    Definitely a Deep Impact!!

    I had heard they were going to subject the Speedmaster to that one as well.

    I'm sure they only made this because they knew aliens were doing it for some unknown reason.

    When they found that the high G forces of blast off hampered hand and arm moments they realized they needed a more delicate and precise method of controlling the space craft hands free.
    Unfortunately the reaction of the sphincter to the ignition of millions of pounds of rocket propellent often bent or broke the probe.

    PS
    Those brave men who participated in these experiments were given an second "S" added to the title of Astronaut.

    I'd like to take this opportunity to announce my new YouTube channel devoted to my revelation that the Moon is in fact flat as a pancake.
    Number one proof is that the Moon has a light side and a dark side when we all know that a spherical object has only one side (the outside). Ignore the lunatics who claim the Moon is hollow and would then have an inside and an outside, they don't know what they are talking about.

    The Astronauts did not understand why the Sat-on 5’’ rocket chair test was needed, but they all hoped to be the first man and nobody was volunteering for the re-entry training…..
