Cellular Lunacy

The corporate-owned Odysseus is the first US spacecraft to land on the moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. The last time a spacecraft landed on the moon was last month when Japan did it. India sent a spacecraft last August. The Russians did it first in 1959. So far, we’re still the only nation to have sent humans to the moon. Unfortunately, none of them have been Donald Trump, who we could have left there.

Odysseus is lucky to have landed on the moon as some faulty navigation equipment was discovered before its descent, but the brains at Intuitive Machines, the company that owns the spacecraft, were able to bypass the broken pieces and use an experimental NASA instrument that happened to be on board.

A few other corporations have sent spacecraft into space but unfortunately for all of us and humankind, Elon Musk was not aboard this one.

Since its landing on the moon, we have learned that Odysseus tripped over a moon rock and is now lying on its side. There’s a drone-like device on Odysseus the company plans to eject so it can try to determine the state of the spacecraft. Odysseus has about nine days of life left as its equipment will freeze and die when the sun moves beyond it.

Fortunately, Intuitive Machines and NASA know what they know because Odysseus’ communication equipment isn’t from AT&T.

As an AT&T customer, where I also purchased my iPad which this cartoon was drawn on, I have fewer complaints about them than I do with my internet provider, Cox. They suck. Also, I have a little crush on Lily, the spokesperson for AT&T, and I think she can do whatever she wants.

On Thursday, I saw the news about the AT&T outage and a friend sent me three messages about it, and she’s on Verizon. She obviously cared about it more than I did. Maybe I would have cared more if it had affected me. I don’t know if it did or not because nobody calls me except people wanting to know about my car’s warranty.

As for Odysseus, maybe the cow tipped it over. Get it? Cow tipping? No? Never mind.
