FOXNEWS Special Report…
“Exclusive images handed to FOX proving there is water on the moon.”
Man, this Global Warming is really off the charts!
Glade we splashed down in this water park!
Club Mare Tranquillitatis
Don’t be tardy to the party.
Uh… Houston, we have a problem.
Nothing better after a fake trip to the moon then a little pool time. Cannonball!!!!!
Nice SplashDown, Grissom !!!
OK, who ordered Galaxy Pizza..?
Zero gravity really does feel like you’re floating on water.
Talk about a pin-point landing!
That looks like the crew of Apollo 1, and Gus Grissom nearest the capsule. Tragic fate awaited them.
Hey Gus…make sure you don’t leave the door open. If the waves get in there it’ll sink like a rock.
“Told you I could put this thing down anywhere! Now beer me.”
We’re not in Kansas anymore!
Let’s get out of here. No intelligent life here either.
Like a boss…
Man, i’m glad the folks in Hollywood got us covered.
OK, NOW you can fart !!!
Folks, please take care of our ozone layer!
The wet stuff.
I think those are the real thing and at a guess they were practicing for an emergency escape.
I saw manned spaceflight start and I think I may be seeing it end at least for the US.
After looking over our national finances much less than completely I’m not sure we will be able to afford a fighter defense in ten years much less take part in the space race. I would only give you 50/50 odds that a 10 year US Fed. Government bond is worth more than the paper it’s printed on.
Bob, unhappy the other astronauts wouldn’t let him play, stood on the side and pissed in the pool.
See… If I paddle like this, I can move the capsule.
During a break filming the fake moon landings the actors hang out at the pool.
A lone conspiracy nut watches through the fence
Huston! We have parrrrrtaaay!
I guess everyone is too young to remember who these men are. This is the crew of Apollo 1. This was the crew that died during a flash fire in the capsule while sitting on the Launch Pad in 1967. The first American Astronauts to die in the line of duty. It was a horrible death.
Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.
swbutt,
Thanks for the refresher… yeah, I would not have recognized them although I was aware of that story which I think people have generally forgotten after the Shuttle disasters.
I have wondered whether NASA shouldn’t go back to capsules for manned space trips. Despite Apollo 1, they seem safer and sturdier.
The cargo can go up on much larger, automated rockets.
