If only it were so simple.

“2..1…. Whoops, it’s a polarized plug. Can you start over.”

Just another ho hum day like any other.

Um… isn’t this strip like about 5 or 6 years too late? Shuttles are gone forever, in case you hadn’t heard.

Now, they just use huge rubber bands.

Then that must be how the private sector does it. Aren’t they in to cost cutting over all? Would you trust Wal-Mart to do this?

Then maybe someone didn’t pay the electric bill?

Interesting comment. Remember 2001’s prediction that Pan-Am would be flying shuttles? In the future it may well be Virgin and some areospace outfits such as Lockheed or General Dynamics. Of course, after a while there will be Air-tran equivalents. Imagine what disasters that will entail.

I remember the first time I was working on a movie set, and realized that all those cities and town weren’t real. The romance faded fast.

Dubya scuttled the shuttle and didn’t replace it with anything.

Those guys must be scabs because NASA was furloughed!

Oh, if it was all that simple. Now they could coordinate the simple complexity yet so many see only simplistic answers to really complicated problems.

Wait for congress to pass a budget so you can pay the electric bill… If they ever do, you try again. Meanwhile Sandra Bullock circles the earth awaiting the rescue launch.

Darth, what’s the point of having Sandra Bullock in a movie if you’re going to cover her up with a space suit?

I though they used a match then ran away.Quickly.

Really? I’d kinda like my hobbies to be my job. I enjoy them, so it’d be nice to get paid for them

“I would never join a club that would have ME as a member”…who said that? Groucho Marx?

I’ve seen electrical cords short out under a lot less stress!

Seriously, nobody has said anything about how long that electrical cord would have to be?…..Outer Space is way out there man……How many times do they go around the earth? That’s a lot of line, baby…Maybe internal combustion Satellites are the answer….

I still have the Sunday strip of this from years ago hanging in my office!
