What would you talk about with an astronaut at the pub? (assuming you've had a few to many).
Some of us New Scientist staffers were idly wondering about the universe in the pub last night - arguing about the "speed of dark" (as opposed to the speed of light) for reasons I'd rather forget - when into the bar walks space shuttle astronaut Mark Kelly, pilot on shuttle Discovery's July 4 mission to the space station.
I'm jealous...the New Scientist crowd got a chance to do this. The Scienceblogger crowd should get to drink with...hmm... I don't know? What science etc. figure would you want to get loaded with?
Do you think we can start a prank war with the new science people? like panty raids and stuff?

Dafydd Williams (astronaut who worked in NeuroLab) came and gave a talk at UM Neuroscience a couple years back and we got to take him out to the bar. Sounds like they had a pretty good time up there with the Russians. Gotta make friends, as the Russians were allowed to bring vodka up there, but the US guys weren't. :)
