Unmanned Mission?
Hmmm. There's either a typo in the caption to this Yahoo! News photo, or maybe they're trying to tell us that all those NASA manned space missions really were a hoax: A Mercury-Redstone rocket that once stood upright at the credentialing center at the Kennedy Space Center (news - web sites) in Titusville, Fla. lies on the grass after being blown down by Hurricane Frances Saturday, Sept. 5, 2004. A rocket similar to this was used to launch Alan Shepard on the first unmanned suborbital mission. (AP Photo/Peter Cosgrove)

Alan Shepard doesn't count as a man

I just now realized what was wrong with the caption. That's hilarious!

Maybe he forgot to fasten his seat belt and fell out during launch, and everybody was too ashamed to admit it until it was accidentally leaked in this press report.

Maybe that's Alan SHEPARD, as in German Shepard (dog).

I think this is a not-to-subtle comment on Sheppard's virility before and after his flight, which had best been left unsead.

The photo caption has since been changed to read "Hurricane Frances winds toppled a Mercury-Redstone rocket at the Kennedy Space Center (news - web sites) in Titusville, Florida on September 5, 2004 Hurricane Frances made landfall South of the Space Center late Saturday night, bringing heavy rains and gale force winds. A Mercury-Redstone rocket similar to this was used to launch Alan Shepherd into a suborbital mission. REUTERS/Charles W. Luzier"

It's a link to a news site report from two years ago. Those tend to have a limited life span.
