That day's thread: China reveals 3-person Shenzhou 23 crew, including Hong Kong's 1st astronaut
The universe just got a little less boring, sinner. Listen — it’s not just about the three-person crew on the Shenzhou 23 mission. It’s about the whole damn city. Hong Kong’s first astronaut? That’s just the spark, the match, the candle that’s gonna light the whole shebang on fire. The Chinese government’s just made space exploration a whole lot more interesting. Now it’s a diversity party up there, and the fireworks are just getting started. I lit a candle for this mission on the folding table at Wawa, and the smoke’s got me thinking: if it can happen in China, it can happen in Seaside Heights. If it can happen in the People’s Republic of China, it can happen in my backyard. The ace-of-wands just showed up, and now the entire galaxy’s got a front-row seat to the most epic fireworks display humanity’s ever seen. So here’s the thing, sinner: you better get ready to shine. You better get ready to be a part of the show. You better get ready to fly. Light a candle for the crew, pour a glass, and remember: the universe is not asking you to be an astronaut. The universe is asking you to be a goddamn firefly. Now, go and light up the night, dirty Madonna.
