I remember the pinball machine! Classic
No...Five passengers who sailed one day on a 3 hour tour became stranded...meaning stuck. It’s impossible to be stuck in an orbit!
Yours Truly,

Yeah, but that was fake. You know how you can tell? The batteries in their transistor radio never died with years of use.
here, used to be there...
Oh...I thought it was real...damn! Actually Gilligan’s island was about 300 meters off the coast of Oahu, I believe.
Supper’s Almost Ready.
I’ll let y’all know if it lands in the cornfield beside the house.
It is reassuring that it's only bits. A decent baseball glove ought to do it.
What's Chernobyl got to do with this?
You'd be more relevant saying, “From the people who were the first to go to space, first to send a man to space, first to send a satellite to space etc etc”.
Two words: “Challenger” and “Columbia”. How much was covered up in those accidents?
Dummy payload? That’s a very suspiciously neutral description. I’ll bet they would not spend that kind of money to send up a “dummy”. This is likely a cover for a failed launch of a classified payload. Hope it’s not dangerous.
Finders Keepers
Yes.
My former business partner referred to me as:
"The Spelling Nazi" - because I would correct his spelling in add copy!
Was I wrong not to want our potential customers to think
that we were semi-literate morons? I think not.
You haven’t watched all the episodes have you?🙄
Apparently not. Happy New Year, FRiend.
Yes, but Korolev died in 1966, and, that was really the end of things. The current Russian tech is basically all his work. They haven’t come up with much recently.
"They set us up. The bomb."
Sure. So it's stranded right there where it can EMP any one any time.
Looks like a mission for Space Force. Lets have a look under the payload fairing, shall we?

Apart from they were the only country on the planet with the ability to send people to the space station and until last year after the Shuttle was ended. , America totally depended on the Russians to send astronauts to the space station (for 10 years), at a cost of a pretty high $90 million per astronaut per flight.
We have to thank Elon Musk for America being able to send our astronauts to the space station right now, since Boeing keeps failing.
