If they were on the Moon that would only be a $1 a mile travel service fee.

Whoopsie!, that would be a $1,000 a mile service travel fee, but still pretty cheap given all the logistics involved designing a space suit to deal with exposed butt-crack.

Since the time spent in space was short, I believe a cheap Depends solution could have saved the day and a huge plumber bill.

Future flights will include a roll of electrical tape cut to size to cover all those annoying warning lights and enough earplugs for all the crew members to block out those even more annoying warning buzzers. So problems solved, relax & enjoy your time in space.

A bargain. That's only slightly less than most normal house calls.

cfjk, according to the reported 280 billion dollar price tag for the moon mission, the cost to get to the moon was about 1.2 million per mile, so that plumber would be a hell of a deal.

Probably clogged with Eastern brown snakes.
