Celebrations at NASA

Posted on 2012-08-06 by Andreas Moser

This is what 2.5 billion $ get you at NASA: a room full of people hugging each other.

And for that, you don’t even get cigars which used to be part of any proper NASA celebration.

    I don’t know about you, but with some of the ladies in that control room, I’ll take the hugs, and YOU can keep the cigars! ;)
    I’m just so glad everything worked correctly. With the news coming out of this country recently, we really didn’t need a failure of intrastellar proportions. Now if we can just find some trace of life – even if the little green guys keep hiding from the camera. :D

        A billion for a hug and the data is top secret unless you’re willing to pay a billion more. It’s nothing compared to a trillion and the grandchildren won’t mind paying.NASA said recently:

    Gather all ye sheep
    there’s Historic news

    Oh come ye
    to the News Conference;
    our NASA boy on Mars speaks:

    Well, of course.
    Two kinds of methane,
    perchlorates, a glitch,
    a few fossils, and
    there’s a wolf on Mars

    Historic News again from NASA.
    Please do not cry —
    You’re not understanding the data

    Dr. Wolf in
    sheep-skin coat of many colors
    will explain:

    On Mars,
    I’ve written a secret book.

    And now
    let us praise ourselves.

    Historic News again from NASA,
    please do not cry —
    you’re not understanding the data
    capitalized with contamination

    One small step for James Wolf,
    one giant leap for James Bond
