Tell them they can take their time fixing it. I'm in no hurry.

This reads like an SCP report.

Alas ifit's snagged on the international date line, it's not NASA you need to talk to, but New Zealand's Rocket Lab which sent that baby up

I always get rocket snagged on my date’s line if you catch my drift, wink wink nudge nudge say no more say no more.

I affix her line with eruca vesicaria every time we go fishing. The fish arugula moon.

Perfect time for this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40skF8QUPK8

Woke up in the evening
To the sound of screaming
Through the walls it was bleeding
All over me

Untied and weightless
Unconscious as we cross
The international dateline
Let's end it here
Let's end it here

Happy to see Kiribati's space program got off the ground.

natanael.bsky.social•475 days ago

Similar track record to Kerbal space program
