So a guy jumped from space. This is horrible.
When I was a kid, I was told by now we’d have a colony on the moon. And if you just felt like vacationing to the moon, you just go ahead and do so. The golf courses there would be great.
Instead, we now can’t even get down from space properly.
“Hey, I’m stuck in space.”
“Well, we can’t send a rocket to get you because we don’t have those anymore. I guess you’ll just have to jump.”
How low tech is that? We can’t even get to the moon anymore and now to get out of space we have to jump.
OBAMA!!!!

Yeah, but the ObamaPhone reception is fantastic between 5 and 9 miles high so you can call a friend and say iiiiiiiieeeeeiiiiiiieeeeEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
I agree: jumping from space is a terrible waste of space – unless you’re Barack Obama jumping to the Moon.
If the golf courses on the moon are really great, I think I can fix the mess in Washington in short order. Maybe we should increase the NASA budget.
What kind of a person leaves a perfectly good space capsule?
At least Balloon boy had enough sense to hide in a closet instead of having to jump from that contraption.
Didn’t Don Mclean have a verse about this?
You wanna complain that jumping was low tech? Just wait until you realize that he got to space by riding in a balloon…
On the plus side of this debate, here in the 21st Century, even Red Bull can mount a working space program….
So, if he can figure out how to do this at 17,000 MPH, then it may be something the shuttle crew could use… well if we still had a shuttle program.
BSNBC reported that he broke the….wait for it…SPEED OF LIGHT!!!11!!1
I am so ashamed to be such an ignerant nukkle dragin conser’tive.
How does this affect the Muslims?
They’re threatening to riot, SoB.
However, Mitt Romney did say he’d be willing to help fund a Muslim jumping program of their own consisting of a pair of swimming trunks, flip flops and directions to the nearest lake.
The first step is the hardest.
If I had a space balloon.
I would float off to the moon.
The balloon was 550 feet tall, the capsule weighed over 2000 lbs, and was last seen drifting aimlessly at 124,800 feet above the Earth.
You’ll need more than a tin-foil hat to protect you when that finally falls out of the sky.
If it lands on my house, I’m going to end up OWNING Red Bull when my lawyer is through with them!
