Photog Spaces Out -- That Ain't Armstrong

Posted Jul 20th 2009 2:50PM by TMZ Staff

Our guy was convinced he was talking to the original moon walker, Neil Armstrong (upper left), this weekend in D.C. -- only problem, he had the wrong astronaut.


By random coincidence though, this guy's actually been to the moon too -- he's Apollo 16 passenger Charlie Duke.

Astronaut Water -- It's a Pisser

Posted May 21st 2009 6:30AM by TMZ Staff

The #1 source for drinking water in space ... is #1.

Astronauts on the International Space Station had their first taste of liquid goodness from their new urine recycling system -- which magically transforms pee, sweat and water condensed from exhaled air to create a nice cool glass of aqua. Who's thirsty!?

But here's the crazy part -- not only do the astronauts think the final product tastes great ... but they even cracked jokes about it, claiming the water came with this special warning: "drink this when real water is over 200 miles away."

Space humor -- it's golden.

Hottest Videos -- Week of 02/04

Former wrestler Chyna Doll, went toe to toe with Monique Goen, wife of TRIMSPA CEO Alex Goen, over the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Goen accused Chyna of being a publicity whore who was never a friend of Anna Nicole. Chyna replied that she didn't need publicity because, "I get my own."

TomKat can do a lot of things, conceive a child, jump on couches, perhaps even sway celebrities to join Scientology. Yet with all those talents, there is one that eludes the power couple: The power of dance.

All is fair in love and comedy. If a jilted woman can drive almost 900 miles to confront an adversary over a man, Letterman can certainly create the Top Ten signs an astronaut is trying to kill you. Check out the hilarity.

America's new favorite astronaut, Lisa Nowak, was the subject of the Top Ten list on "The Late Show with David Letterman" last night -- as a cautionary tale.

David counted down the "Top Ten Signs an Astronaut Is Trying to Kill You." Our personal favorites were, "She poisons your Tang" and "She keeps stabbing you with a pen that writes upside down."
