And it just. Isn’t. Funny. Even when it isn’t punching down. Those vids of the show, minus the laugh track, prove that.

“Aliens took mah job as well as my anal virginity!”

The microwave oven came about from miltary high-frequency radar research, not rocketry.

These also seem similar to some of the “Something extra in my paycheck” bot tweets after the tax bill passed.

“facts based on personal experience”

I work 3rd shift in a warehouse as a second job and theres an important little bit that’s getting missed. The PR person mentioned these people are employees that have “been around long enough to know how it really is”. So that means they’re amazon (or whatever logistics company runs the warehouse) employees. They’re…

yeah, we can’t even send our astronauts to the ISS, but we are going to colonize the moon.

Question will always be “Why?”. There’s nothing on the moon. You can’t put a military base on it because the Earth and moon are constantly rotating. This is why the US gave up after landing on the moon.

The joke’s on you (us?): Trump is pushing the Space Force because he found out extraterrestrial aliens exist. He’s not ready(?) to tell us(??) yet(???) but this is why he wants a moon base. So we can mount our defenses from space where it’s easier to counter-attack the alien menace.

Pretty sure Trump thinks there’s coal there, which is doubly funny, considering where coal came from.

He’s not going to Pay to do anything resembling space exploration or to develop the tech required to explore further. Space Pants Force is just a stupid, shiny fucking bauble to dangle in front of his idiot base.

The only reason these yahoos suddenly care about space is because they, and their fellow billionaires want another place to live considering they’re accelerating global warming with all their environmental policies. They want to ensure they have a place to live while the rest suffer on earth. Hence a space force to…

I actually think Trump/Pence have the right idea. Need to establish Moonbase Alpha to prepare for the imminent battle with the Europan armada.

We are like three Pence speeches away from a full “Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun...”

I can’t remember where i heard it now but something i was listening to recently was talking about how we only went to the moon because of the Russians as spending that much on a space program was completely at odds with any Capitalist ideals as it’s alot of money with side benefits in tech gains but no real immediate…

You’ve got to admit, this administration is on the cutting edge when it comes to science:

Also: your daily reminder that for all of the sci-fi pageantry these shitgluttons muster when they’re incensed by their messianic administration (SEE: Reagan’s Star Wars); Trump’s billowing neck flab would preclude him from even wearing an astronaut helmet.

FUCKING MEANWHILE
