Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 11, 2019

Something must must have caught Rover’s attention ahead……..

Rover’s right, Red! All astronauts have to be in almost perfect shape to pass the physical NASA gives to be considered for spaceflight!

Rover! Be more considerate of the hand that feeds you.

Got to train those arm muscles.

We have one dog that pulls all of the time, one that stops and sniffs everything and one that moves are randomly.

It’s for your own good, Red.

You still have to be in good health to go into space, Red!

He’s teaching Red about gravity and orbits.

Red is only half right. He will have to work his rump off to be in the best kind of physical shape to take the heavy g’s when the rocket lifts off.

Labs can really pull – I’m here to tell you!

When you’re Red’s age, you don’t worry about being in shape, because of bicycling, PE, playing, the jungle gyms don’t other physical activities adults stop or forget to do.
