Looked at the thumbnail and thought it was another cards against humanity.

My grandfather helped design the tail section of the space shuttle. :)
notaballoon
So...you know that shuttle explosion in 2001 was because a heat tile was missing...when did your grandfather work there?
TheDudeanator
Those tiles are neat! Hit it with a blow torch and it will still stay cool to the touch.
NotACanadian
I thought the tiles were coasters.

Hi! My grandpa worked on the ISS!

Unrelated: I have the same bedspread as you OP.

I'd wear the fuck out of that jacket

Best i can do for all this is 5 bucks

Wow, that is really cool stuff OP.
bstrdchild
I'd rock the fuck out of that jacket. Its legit
porkchopexpress
How much for the jacket?
CiprianCristea
Good thing he didn't work on rockets with a white jacket and red graphics.
KingsKnight
That jacket is a hipster's wet dream.

My grandfather also knows how to purchase things on eBay.

your grandfathers job was out of this world!
Ruxette
Your grandfather is awesome, the highest of fives to you sir
disorientedoriental
you don't know that, he could be an asshole for all you know.
bassboss
You know, if he hadn't taken those tiles, the Challenger wouldn't have crashed
FrustratedBluffing
I'm really awful at parties, the social anxiety is real :/, but the challenger disaster was caused a by a faulty joint on an SRB, not tiles.
fedoras
Crashed? Like, its shards and fragments crash into the ground, after it exploded in the air?

Plot twist- He got you & you're an alien.

At first I read NSA and thought "Of course they gave him a foil hat"
ratherlargecookieofdoom
Oh snap, me too! .....My tinfoil hat clearly isn't working well enough.
Havenscloud
I think it's because you need gold foil, not tin foil. Either that, or some gold looking metal foil. Don't want to get foiled here.
NSASpyGuy
You should use tin foil wrapped in aluminum foil
CaptainSarcasmAwaaay
I read NSA too, and thought "Of course they sabotaged the shuttle heat shields."
NSASpyGuy
We did no such thing
NewtonWren
You would say that though. 'pulls tinfoil hat further down'
celephia
My dad works at NASA also. I thought I was one of very few people that owned shuttle tiles. Probably still am, but it's still neat.

Was an intern for two different NASA centers and all I got was a shirt and kicked out during the government shutdown.

Cherish that jacket forever

Makes me sad how much money we dump into all sorts of things, yet something as amazing as space has been left behind in funding.
georgiaonmamind
same with ocean exploration. we only know about 5% of it!! need to fund nasa and ocean projects stat
DylanSchiester
Guess I'll just go rewatch cosmos....
Alcard
That's because of bad marketing. If we think there are aliens to "liberate" out there. We will spend any amount of $$$ to get out there.
shadowlev
There are countless boundaries to space that the theoretical physicists need to work out before we can start launching people into it.
pancakesheep
what if we just got rid of money :D then we can afford it all
RadionicPsychotronic
Most white elephants are fronts that fund the secret space program.

i hope some white elephants help us make it to uranus

Maybe it's because we know what's really out there.....

it seems as if the US opted for the domination victory rather than the science victory

We were doing well towards a cultural victory, but someone decided to change that.

But at least we send 3 billion a year to Israel. Perpetuating the suffering of the Palestinians is better than space, right? :(

Well it looks like that asteroid is going to take out North America & send the planet into an iceage, but FUCK that was a good football game

As a teacher... I'd like some more money poured into my feild so we can create students who are bright enough to continue space travel!
Aye2KJ
oh look, the teacher with the wrong spelling.. Yeah more funding needed

To be fair, if they're a math teacher, math isn't heavy on spelling.

Whoa there buddy! I think you mean leave the creating up to God.

Well, this comment was supposed to be taken as a joke...oh well. I don't need fake internet points anyways.

Wow wow wow there pal why don't we leave all the creating up to Neil DeGrass Tyson

Didn't you know? We're too busy dumbing down our population and fighting fake wars so that a select few CEO's can have a bigger paycheck.
YourCanadianGirlfriend
I support your unpopular comment. I'm Canadian, and we are doing un-Canadian things because Big US tells us to. Like an abused spouse.

Shut up and make my dinner, Canada.

Okay.

If I could up vote this more than once I would up vote it all day. Space is literally the one thing I want to see before I die.

See, no matter how cool that is, I dont think anything can compare to being in zero gravity and floating around looking into the beyond.
maddragon57
I was about to say the same thing. Its more seeing space from a different place...

Take a step to the left. More seriously, go camping or find a location isolated from lighting... then look up.

Which developed just about all technology used in all space flight. It's easy to dislike the billions that go into military, but hard to...
Griffy11
Deny the amount of r and d that comes from it.
Theiovoi
True, but why in the world do we need the military to do that R&D? Why not pour the money into you know, the people actually going into 1/2
Ombleo
Well to be fair, space is a nothing in comparison. But that's because space is literally nothing for the most part
