Looked to me like a man being respectful for the millions of dollars worth of equipment susceptible to damage from dandruff, skin flakes, human soil contamination, etc.
Showing an interest in our scientific community makes sense to me, Soldier, he needs to know what they do there, and how they do it. And how they protect our taxpayer investment by using the recommended proceedures, i.e. tojan coverups.
Who else votes on NASA's budget? They might benefit from a tour too.

I suppose you'd be laughing too if your surgeon came in off the golf course and didn't bother scrubbing up?
Be rather unprofessional, wouldn't it?
If I'm taking someone along on a highway construction site, in a work zone, it's my duty to see they have the proper safety gear and orientation lecture first.
Why is it worthy of your scourn that some professions require suiting up?

The only thing I didn't like about the carrier landing photo op was that they had to turn it around and go back out to sea because they were too close to shore to justify a jet landing when a helo would have worked fine.
Resevoir end? Maybe the NASA workers who wear them everyday could answer that for you.

Photo of Kerry Suits the Tabloids
A space shuttle visit was meant to make Kerry appear strong, but NASA's shot of him in a 'bunny suit' becomes headline news.

PHILADELPHIA — When Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) visited the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, his campaign hoped that the backdrop of the famed shuttle launch site would evoke images of exploration and science.
Instead, the photo that was splashed across the nation's largest tabloid newspapers was less than statesmanlike: Kerry, dressed in a hooded "bunny suit," peering out of the hatch that leads to the space shuttle.
The papers were merciless. Under a banner headline that read "Spaceman Kerry's goofy photo flub," the New York Post suggested that Kerry looked like the sperm character Woody Allen played in his 1972 comedy, "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask."
The image disrupted the campaign's carefully choreographed rollout of Kerry this week as the Democratic presidential nominee, detracting from a series of events designed to portray him as strong and sure-footed. "Photo Flap Mars Dems' First Night," blared the New York Daily News, saying the "goofy-looking" outfit was at odds with former President Clinton's praise for Kerry on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention.
Frustrated Kerry aides said the campaign had been blindsided by the pictures, which were snapped by NASA photographers accompanying Kerry on his tour of the space center.
During the tour, the campaign said, NASA officials offered to take Kerry into the sterile area where the shuttle Discovery was being prepared for its next flight.
Aides were told the candidate would have to wear sterile coveralls to enter the facility, but they did not see the full-length baby blue "bunny suit" that Kerry donned. The campaign said the photos were taken when Kerry's aides were not present and were distributed by NASA before they saw the images.
Republicans wasted no time seizing on the photos, plastering copies on the walls throughout their temporary office suite a block from the FleetCenter in Boston. The Kerry campaign dismissed suggestions that the photo damaged Kerry's image.
William Johnson, deputy chief of media services at Kennedy Space Center, said he was surprised by the flap. Johnson said a NASA photographer recently took a picture of space center Director James W. Kennedy clad in the "bunny suit," in the same pose. The photo was so popular that Kennedy's alma mater, Auburn University, ran the image on the cover of its magazine, Johnson said.
"It's a great shot," he said. "It's a hero shot."

...Jennifer...
Jen...This has become the Dukakis pick of 2004 for the GOP.
And yes, I do believe the GOP is acting like 5th graders by using this pic.
