шкала тошнотворности им. Джейка Гарна

[jayrandom]

Jake Garn was sick, was pretty sick. I don't know whether we should tell stories like that. But anyway, Jake Garn, he has made a mark in the Astronaut Corps because he represents the maximum level of space sickness that anyone can ever attain, and so the mark of being totally sick and totally incompetent is one Garn. Most guys will get maybe to a tenth Garn, if that high. And within the Astronaut Corps, he forever will be remembered by that.

Удивительно не то, что такую шкалу предложили, а то, что её предложили только во время космической эры.
Раньше людей не тошнило? Или не удавалось подобрать удачный эталон?
