    John was an astronaut scheduled to fly on his first mission to the International Space Station.

    The media frenzy surrounding the launch was maddening. Everywhere John went, the media followed him.

    He would part the curtains at his home in the morning, and the media was out there peering in, trying to get a shot of him going about his day.

    It wasn’t just the media – even his friends and relatives began pouring in. His house was literally filled to the brim with people every single minute.

    There was barely any room to walk around the house, and leaving the house meant a swarm of reporters would follow him everywhere. It was becoming too much for John and NASA called in their medical team to look at his condition, only to reveal that John was becoming claustrophobic due to the constant pressure of people around him, not giving him a moment of peace and quiet.

    The launch now in jeopardy, NASA were looking for a replacement but John decided to overcome his phobia and insisted that he would make the trip. Eventually, NASA decided to go ahead with John but were constantly monitoring his heart rate.

    John’s heart was beating dangerously fast as he walked towards the craft, got strapped in and went up. However, as soon as they were out of the Earth’s atmosphere, he calmed down and became completely normal.

    Turns out, all he needed was a little space.

    Great. Now all the office cubicles will be converted from grey (the colour of prison cells) to blue.

    Before"astronaut" there was aeronaut (which retains the archaic spelling unlike airplane, which originated as aeroplane [also British].)

    Today’s scientific question (yes, there is a known answer): why is it impossible for eyes to be invisible?

    Yuri Gagarin’s office is in Star City, Moscow Oblast Russia and there is a book with autographs from everyone who ever went to space in the book, I think the first signature was that of Neil Armstrong.

    No one believes seniors . . . Everyone thinks they are senile

    An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired. Holding hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they’d shared, where Jerry had carved- ‘I love you, Sally’.

    On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up and, not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money – fifty thousand dollars!

    Jerry said, “We’ve got to give it back.”

    Sally said, “Finders keepers!” She put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic.

    The next day, two police officers were canvassing the neighborhood looking for the money, and knocked on their door. “Pardon me, did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armored car yesterday?”

    Sally said, “No.”

    Jerry said, “She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic.”

    Sally said, “Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile.”

    The agents turned to Jerry and began to question him.

    One said: “Tell us the story from the beginning.”

    Jerry started, “Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday……”

    The first police officer turned to his partner and whispered, “Well, I’ve heard enough, we’re outta here!”
