Back to Space Sale!

"Ok all you little astronauts, it's time to stock up for your returning space flights!

Save big on Spacesuits, Pasta-in-a-tube, and for all you rookie astronauts... Barf Bags!"

Seriously, I'm glad to see the big crazy monster that is NASA finally getting back into space. I'm one of those people who really geek-out at the prospect of space travel. The kid in me still wants to be a space man. However, there are few things that would have to happen before I got my shot.

For one, math would have to be A LOT easier. Anyone who knows me semi-well knows I pretty much despise math on multiple levels. And unfortunately you have to be pretty flippin' good at math to fly in a space shuttle. (That is unless you want to dish out couple million bucks to hitch a ride with some smelly Russian guy named Ivan. Doesn't sound like much fun to me.)

Also, I'm not a very athletic person. Astronaut folks are in the prime of their physical condition (like a brand new stapler bought at Office Max). I, on the other hand, eat fast-food on a regular basis and my exercise consists of, at most, mowing the lawn.

So, unless I can figure out a way to strap a couple billion bottle rockets to my Nissan, I'm grounded. That us until Southwestern Airlines start using spaceplanes so I can go from New York to Tokyo in less than an hour. Because I have to get to that meeting with Mr. Tokoshima or my ass is grass (and not that good stuff cows eat either).

But, at least astronauts get all the tang they want. Way to go guys!
