In his memoir, astronaut Jerry Linenger shares an extraordinary experience from his time in space, recalling his astonishment at discovering a bottle of cognac in one arm of his spacesuit and a bottle of whiskey in the other. This humorous revelation showcases the unexpected challenges and peculiarities that come with space exploration.

Linenger's lighthearted comparison to Frank Burns, a character known for his antics, highlights the unpredictable and often amusing elements of astronauts' lives in the void. Mary Roach’s book, "Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void," emphasizes the unique and sometimes comical aspects of preparing for and living in such an extraordinary environment.
