There once was a writer from NASA
Who knew if aliens could blast ya.
He wrote his memoir
Called, Life from Afar.
His agent said, “The movies have passed ya.”

NASA Probes Record Sounds In Space – And It’s Terrifying.
The Daily Epic » NASA Probes Record Sounds In Space – And It’s Terrifying..
Despite what you’ve heard, there are actual sounds in space.
Due to the virtual vacuum in space, it’s not sound like you and I experience it (that being waves pulsing through the air), but there are electromagnetic waves that pulsate at the same wavelength as the sound waves we can hear.
Instruments on several NASA probes including Voyager have recorded these waves and translated them into a sound that we can hear, and they are all kinds of spooky. This is the kind of thing you hear in a movie just before someone opens a door in a dark hallway.
So, take a listen to the true nature of the solar system. And sleep tight.

A.: He shuttled in.
Puns, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the UGBC (You Gotta Be Crazy) Punster, it’s ongoing irritation….

Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist (True Story)
Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4 pound dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.
British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the British engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer’s back-rest in two, and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow.
The horrified Brits sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the US scientists for suggestions.
You’re gonna love this…
NASA responded with a one-line memo — “Defrost the chicken.”
That bit of information probably wasn’t in the User’s Guide.
