if i had known my hollywood crush when i was 11 year old was going to come back at just the absolutely most chaotic time in my life--adulthood--i would have no idea the repercussions

Josh coming back to take over teenage girls' world again and again.
Saw a comment like "Josh Hutcherson is the real Pennywise, he comes back every few years and then goes back to hiding in the dark."
It had me snorting. Lmao.
It would've been even funnier if Universal wasn't being such a dumbass and had promoted FNaF and given it a proper theatrical release. It had the potential to break several records set by It. Josh could've beaten Pennywise himself.

Space Station Concepts: Space Operations Center
"The SOC is a self-contained orbital facility built up of several Shuttle-launched modules. With resupply, on-orbit refurbish- ment and orbit maintenance, it is capable of continuous operation for an indefinite period. In the nominal operational mode, the SOC is manned continuously, but unmanned operation is possible.
The present mission management and control process is characterized by a people-intensive ground monitoring and control operation involving large supporting ground information and control facilities and a highly- integrated ground-flight crew operation. In order to reduce dependence on Earth monitoring and control, the SOC would have to provide for increased systems monitoring; fault isolation and failure analysis, and the ability to store and call up extensive sets of data to support the onboard control of the vehicle; and the onboard capability for daily mission and other activity planning."
"Like most other space station studies from the mid/late 1970s its primary mission was the assembly and servicing of large spacecraft in Earth orbit -- not science. NASA/JSC signed a contract with Boeing in 1980 to further develop the design. Like most NASA space station plans, SOC would be assembled in orbit from modules launched on the Space Shuttle. The crew's tour of duty would have been 90 days. NASA originally estimated the total cost to be $2.7 billion, but the estimated cost had increased to $4.7 billion by 1981. SOC would have been operational by 1990.
NASA's Johnson Spaceflight Center extended the Boeing contract in February 1982 to study a cheaper, modular, evolutionary approach to assembling the Space Operations Center. An initial power module would consist of solar arrays and radiators. The next launches would have delivered a space tug 'garage', two pressurized crew modules and a logistics module. The completed Space Operations Center also would have contained a satellite servicing and assembly facility and several laboratory modules. Even with this revised approach, however, the cost of the SOC program had grown to $9 billion. Another problem was Space Operations Center's primary mission: spacecraft assembly and servicing. The likely users (commercial satellite operators and telecommunications companies) were not really interested in the kind of large geostationary space platforms proposed by NASA. By 1983, the only enthusiastic users for NASA's space station plans were scientists working in the fields of microgravity research and life sciences. Their needs would dictate future space station design although NASA's 1984 station plans did incorporate a SOC-type spacecraft servicing facility as well."

Josh Hutcherson has haunted me at every stage of my life.
When I was a kid, he was Walter from Zathura, Carl from RV, Jesse from Bridge to Terabithia, Steve from The Vampires Assistant, and Sean from Journey to the Center of the Earth. Then, when I was a teen, he was Peeta from The Hunger Games. Now that I'm an adult, he's Mike from FNAF. I can't escape Josh Hutcherson.

Though Jules Verne’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth” has a scientifically inaccurate title, his original title of “Journey to the Traversable Limit of the Asthenosphere” only sold 12 copies before the name was changed.
