You know, everyone loves to make fun of the engineers that asked Sally Ride if 100 tampons was too much to send up with an astronaut for a one week trip...

But seeing as how an eight day trip has turned into nine and a half months because of the Boeing Starliner debacle, they had a point.

I'm sure 100 tampons would be a relief if stuck up there for Almost A Year.

IDK if Suni Williams needs them (given that she's my mom's age), but we know Sally Ride did, so imagine. Imagine if this is happened to her.

At this point, might as well.

(in all seriousness, I wish Boeing would get their shit together.)

Fucking hell, everything Boeing makes these days is literally cursed.

I take it all 12 of you that closely follow me have noticed my relative absence...I am alive, and I am (mostly) okay. Work is doing its best to slowly kill me thru attrition. Needless to say, I may be on here less as work keeps this pace. But I shall never surrender! I continue to work on new videos and cruise the meme rivers for content whenever I can, and rest assured...I'm not done yet.

Til we meet again, comrades. Communism to all, and to all a good night.

"Astronaut who has been stranded in space due to a faulty spacecraft, develops eye condition due to overexposure to microgravity, and is not due to be rescued until February of next year."

Is a hell of a dystopian news story. Like. This sounds like the plotline to a B list sci fi thriller from 2006, not literally current events.

They wanna do luxury space travel missions, but they can't manage to rescue this astronaut (and her co-worker) from space before NEXT YEAR??

What an unconscionable fucking farce.

Thesis: there was a Jebediah Kerman plush on the uncrewed and successful Orbital Test Flight-2 of the Boeing Starliner

Antithesis: there was no Jebediah Kerman plush on the either unsuccessful Orbital Test Flight-1 or the unsucessful Crewed Test Flight of the Boeing Starliner

Synthesis: Jebediah is the ultimate space pilot even in plush form and should be on every crewed flight from now on.

The socialist democrat party is trying to sabotage America's efforts to stay ahead of our enemies, china and Russia.

"The Starliner Calypso spacecraft on NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test approaches the International Space Station while orbiting 263 miles above Quebec, Canada. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams aboard Starliner would dock to the orbital outpost's forward port on the Harmony module at 1:34 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 6."

2024, Part One.

It was a year where decades happened.

(Sue me if I didn't fit everything into two 10-picture posts. I'm tired.)
