Reid Wiseman remembered for: [] going to space [x] logging an IT ticket with not enough detail
Big honerable mention to the interview with Trump where they pretended to lose connection. (It’s not a coincidence they named the capsule Integrity)
Yeah! That part was great.
Turns out Mark Watney jokingly calling himself a space pirate¹, bragging about having colonised Mars, and the like, was one of the most realistic things in The Martian.
- In the book. In the film he never lost communication with Earth, so he had permission to commandeer the Ares IV MAV, and it wasn’t an act of piracy.
My favorite is the Janeway reference
I have the stupid. What was the reference?
Well, you need to keep the spirit up somehow living in a 9 m3 module together for 10 days, I guess. Also yes, lots of respect for that!
buncha fucken nerds up there
the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera
🎵 It takes a lot to make a stew 🎵
🎶 Too many Kochs 🎵
Someone should photoshop the murderer guy in the background of that shot.
That was the first thing that I thought of as well.
I’m gonna need a link to that '80s sitcom intro video.

Astronauts are so funny man. Here’s just a couple of things I’ve found hilarious from this past week of space
• It’s probably already been spread around here enough already, but in case anyone’s missed it; 7 hours after launch, commander Reid Wiseman, dealing with tech issues, uttered the generational quote “I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working.”
• After fixing the issues that were afflicting the onboard toilet, mission specialist Christina Koch (who has quickly become my favourite of the four) laughingly said “I’m the space plumber, I’m proud to call myself the space plumber.”
• On Easter Sunday, the Artemis II crew hosted a makeshift egg hunt, by hiding packets of dehydrated scrambled eggs around their Orion capsule.
•The way the crew always makes sure to make it very clear they’re in space when doing interviews. From stuff like Wiseman just hanging out floating sideways on screen or Koch letting her hair loose so it can freely span out flowing around her. • While in transit, the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera.
• When the crew reached the furthest point from Earth in the mission, they jokingly clambored over each other in an effort to get to the far side of the capsule, so that they could individually claim to be the furthest person from earth.
• At the same time, on the ISS which was at the time on the other side of earth, the 7 astronauts onboard had a light-hearted race to the far side of the station, making jokes about being the furthest humans from Artemis.
• On the way back to earth, NASA actually managed to establish an audio call between the crews of the ISS and Artemis II (where they shared the above info), and Koch called one member of the ISS crew, Jessica Meir, her “astro-sister” as the two of them previously spacewalker together in 2019. Meir then responded I’m so happy that we are back in space together, even if we are a few miles apart" (a few here being 230,000).
• While Jeremy Hansen was doing an interview, Wiseman and Koch were just in the background swatting the mission mascot (a little moon plush toy named Rise) back and forth between each other.#space #nasa #artemis ii #artemis 2 #astronaut #I think great sense of humour is a required part of NASAs selection criteria
What. How dare you transcribe this after I squint the whole thing out. Kisses.
If someone has a transcript bot pls dm
That’s fun stuff. Astronauts are cool.
I sure wish I were successful and well adjusted!
You used the word “were” instead of “was”. You’re well on your way compadre! I believe in you!
I wish I were successful or well adjusted.
Someday, buddy, someday. For now, just try not to break down at your job, like the rest of us.
No can do, somebody accidentally sent a reply all email to our entire region this morning and now everyone else feels responsible for telling them they fucked up, or for telling those people to stop responding to the first person.
Did you receive the memo about the cover letters on the TPS reports?
Don’t forget insanely lucky and well off enough to afford a masters degree before you’re in your 30s.
Look at these DEI hires making history. How dare they ruin the narrative.
No honorable mention to the floating Nutella jar?
Giant brands are not interesting
Personally I find nutella the worst food that comes in a jar
what about paint?
At least paint is useful
I don’t think Nutella is particularly great as paint either… Honestly, looks like shit.
Wait they fixed the toilet? No Charlie browns? Noooooo.
Also I like that Koch fixed it. That’s an historied name in butt science. (it sounds like I’m making a joke about her name but I’m not)
It broke twice actually, they fixed it both times.
Hold on I gotta complain again? Get me reality’s manager please
I see it like submariners getting the best food and pay in a navy. The moment you pay attention to your environment or consider the hope of rescue, you’re the most vulnerable human alive. You’re in a bathtub at the top of a burning skyscraper and all the forces of nature want to kill you instantly if a single component fails. If I couldn’t distract myself with jokes, it’d be like emergency medicine or leftist politics where the reality is horrifying beyond comprehension. I’d last like a week in space before I’m kissing soil for being safe.
That pay was like an extra $75 a month when I was in 😆
Yes but you get Kitsap Bangor and galleys with a panini bar. Non-dolphins get slop on a ship.
