Astronaut problems

Some of my contributions to the recent hashtag game #astronaut problems on the Tweety.
  • None of the Starbucks in orbit around Mars has a drive-thru.
  • Man's first walk on the moon? More of a skip, actually.
  • Installing software upgrades to H-A-L 9000 causes more problems than it solves.
  • Only you know how much of a complete dillweed Neil Armstrong can be
  • What's for dinner? Borscht in a tube every damn night aboard the international space station.
  • No matter who's the last to use it, the toilet seat always stays in the up position.
  • Even in space, you can't escape spoilers for MadMen, The Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones.
  • Every morning at breakfast, John Glenn arriving at the table in red bikini briefs emblazoned with the words "The Right Stuff" in a most inappropriate location.
  • Absolutely nothing ships to the moon via Amazon Prime.
  • Really sick of bands breaking into their rendition of "Major Tom" whenever you walk into a nightclub.
  • Having to constantly say on first dates: "No, I cannot introduce to Commander Chris Hadfield."
  • Constantly being asked if you used to do porn in the '70s due to style and size of your mustache (Commander Chris Hadfield only).
  • Still bothered about Laika. 
  • You actually can't freebase Tang in space (no fire due to lack of oxygen) (very old, very inappropriate joke).
