Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 20, 2017

Thank you, dad. Think you can get E.T. to ride it up here?

What interesting reception to get that text. Almost reminds me of anime short film “Hoshi no Koe” (or the English “Voices of a Distant Star”) by Shinkai Makoto.

You just need to hack into the NASA TDRS system… and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter …

Awesome, Lio is on his way to helping Elon Musk make us a multiplanetary species! (Well, we gotta start somewhere, right?)

I’m impressed. Lio gets a signal on the moon. I can’t even get a decent signal in my apartment.

Well, Dad’s heart is in the right place — back on Earth.

That’s nice, Dad. Now, about Lio’s crashed spacer….

To the moon, Dad! To the moon!

It’s only fitting that he uses a “Capt’n Kirk” phone..
