"Zero-G has its disadvantages as a venue for lovemaking, shuttle commander
Colonel Karen Sturgis realized testily as her twelfth attempt to achieve
a docking with her handsome co-pilot, Major Matt Savage, failed utterly,
sending her sailing into the airlock and him into the control panel, both
acutely aware that they were disappointing the millions of Americans who
had paid $29.99 to watch them on pay-per-view." --Paul S. Gibbs
