"...gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there..."

Wow!
You would think they would have been blown over by a hurricane or something by now.

How did they make it look like it was blowing in the breeze? Extra, extra, extra starch?

“Even on Earth, the colors of a cloth flag flown in bright sunlight for many years will eventually fade and need to be replaced. So it is likely that these symbols of American achievement have been rendered blank, bleached white by the UV radiation of unfiltered sunlight on the lunar surface. Some of them may even have begun to physically disintegrate under the intense flux.”


Bleached white. Sure as hell wouldn’t be able to see colors after all this time.

Okay, THAT was hilarious. I am still laughing at poor Stinky Pete and the white African American Studies expert with the “thuglife” t-shirt.

The conspiracy went so far as to remove September 31st from the calendar, if I might point out.

I can’t believe the USPS dropped stopped orbit to earth letter delivery. No wonder FedEx is beating the pants off them.

On a visit to the JPL she asked if the Mars Rover would be able to show "the flag the astronauts planted there before".

Of course the right answer could be provided by her fellow D-Moron compatriot Congress idiot Hank Johnson, who would respond that the rover couldn't get too close to the flag because the combined weight would capsize Mars.
