Of course Elon has tapped @johnconner2046 to plan the welcome back party for the astronauts returning on Crew Dragon Freedom in the Gulf of Mexico. He has a dual function- he also has to make sure they haven't been infected with some kind of Astronauts Wife/Venom/Body Snatchers-like alien symbiotic organism. This hasn't become a Hollywood trope for no reason. It took 2 weeks to extract the creature that had infected Buzz Aldrin.
In honor of @johnconner2046 , some Dad jokes John tells astronauts and some memes
Why are there not more dog astronauts?
They’re afraid of the vacuum.
Why do all astronauts use a mac?
Because its dangerous to open windows in space.
On my first day at astronaut training, I vomited and asked the instructor, “Is this normal?”
He said, “Not during a written exam, no.”
We are so grateful to have found The Gutter and to be part of a place where we can meet wonderful people and feel a real sense of community. We truly have so much to be thankful for, and today we love to celebrate that together.
Please share your Thanksgiving moments with us—what you’re thankful for, what made you smile, or the simple joys that made today special.
As for me, I’m thankful that my family is healthy and happy, that the kids have their homes and their jobs, and that I can pause during the day to notice something in nature I don’t see every day…..flock of starlings murmuring around our refinery.
Those little moments mean everything.
Happy Thanksgiving from my heart to yours.
Congratulations to @APalm, @Pam_Antosiak, @RockNRollHS. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s.Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@APalm Who's a celebrity that is universally considered attractive, but they just don't do it for you?
@Pam_Antosiak At your current level of professional success, do you still have a five year plan? And if you do, where do you want to be in five years?
@RockNRollHS What is it that annoys you the most these days?
President Trump,
Far be it for me to ever tell you what to do (with a serious tone).
You have made so many deft moves since becoming 47, and I know you have so many more to come. Can't wait to see what you do for the troops this Xmas.
But if there's a way to gas up AF1, I think a visit to the two National Guardsmen in the hospital back in D.C. would go over well. Not a disaster if you can't go at this late notice, but from one who applauds your use of the Guard in big cities, and recognizes the need for as many positive stories we can get in the next 11 months, please try to visit them.
And thank you sincerely for all that you do.
