No Launch

Me: How can you just lie there and sleep? Do you think the astronauts are sleeping?
Dan: The only astronauts on that flight are bacteria.
Me: Well don't you think the bacteria are excited?
Dan: Not unless the E stands for excited.
Me: Excited coli?
*then I drag everyone but the baby out of bed and shove them into clothes and prepare food and pack my bag, and I'm just about to go get the baby dressed*

Radio: The launch has been scrubbed. More information this afternoon.
4:17
Dan: Benny, they're not going to launch the rocket today. There was a problem with one of the satellites.
Benny: Well maybe we should just CALL them and TELL them that we know about the problem! OH HOW EMBARRASSING. A PROBLEM.
Dan: *laughter*
Benny: DAD, I don't think it's FUNNY that it is embarrassing about the problem.
So, here we are up, with our bags packed, ready to be on the eastern shore at 7AM to watch this miserable launch, and they SCRUBBED IT. Now what???

That's an outrage. The least they could do to prevent disappointment is to set off some fireworks. NASA= Not Actually Smart Anymore
