In Texas, it’s easier to vote by mail if you’re in fucking space than if you’re in a black ZIP code.
Uh oh, do they have to vote through Huston?
If so, there might have a … problem.
I’ll see myself out.
Maybe Trump will promise to go get them. Maybe he will go up in space himself and we can just leave him up there
Well, based on an earlier thread, it takes a LOT less fuel to launch someone out of the solar system than into the sun, so we could always do that
Id be satisfied with a well built trebuchet. No need to waste too many resources.
I reckon we could launch him about 300 meters
I'm not sure he's not over 90 kg, so the distance may be impacted by additional blubber
It’s all about working as a team. 🥰
Y'know thry always make a big media event about the polls opening at midnight in some podunk New England town that does a symbolic "first ballot of the nation". Might be fun to make a similar scene for the ISS.
"The off-planet vote is breaking strongly for Harris despite RFK's residence far outside Earth's gravitational pull."
For Robert Kennedy, one assumes, since they had to learn the Earth is flat while rehearsing for the “mission.”
/s The earth is obviously a dodecahedron. Otherwise, water would reflect things like a funhouse mirror.
This is the only way to legally vote by remote electronics in Texas. Must be registered in Harris County. And must be voting from outer space.
That's really interesting. I wonder how voting works (or doesn't) for US researchers in remote parts of the world, like McMurdo station?
I hope the mailman won't have any problems returning.
Neither rain nor sleet nor snow nor micrometeor shower
Bring them home!
