Rocket Scientists?

On my little sojourn into Houston, Texas we stopped by and visited the Johnson Space Centre. This is where all NASA's expeditions out of our atmosphere are controlled from. From the early days of the Apollo missions to the current Space Shuttle Atlantis expedition to the International Space Station. It is all watched over from there.

Part of the tour took us to the training facility where they have mock ups of the shuttle and the space station for the astronauts, engineers and scientists to muck about with. The funniest thing though was the warning sticker placed on a table in the training facility. I apologise for the poor picture quality but the table was reasonably far away.

I think the sticker speaks or itself. Apparently the more obvious dangers in life are not always that obvious if you are a rocket scientist.
