Are you kidding? Air Force Space Command keeps track of like 18,000 space vehicles, satelites and pices of space junk at any given time.

/Canada has a space program?

Cagey B		2010-09-02 03:00:38 PM

That is indeed cool.

FredaDeStilleto		2010-09-02 03:01:38 PM

That's really cool, eh.

Spad31		2010-09-02 03:03:15 PM

At that speed, will he be able to pull out in time?

Rev.K		2010-09-02 03:05:40 PM

I don't want to diminish the coolness of this, it is indeed awesome.

But I do have to say, your dad looks like an alcoholic chain smoker from north Winnipeg.

Diogenes		2010-09-02 03:18:45 PM

Safe travels, Astro-Farker-Father Dude!

basemetal		2010-09-02 03:20:40 PM

WTFDYW		2010-09-02 03:21:59 PM

That's way cool. Tell him to get a Fark account and post from up there. That would be epic.

Hopefully no dirty Depends.

I'd take a bottle of recycled pee water. You know, for posterity. Yeah, that's it. Posterity.

WTFDYW		2010-09-02 04:02:20 PM

We could make fark.com the new space.com.

I votes for this.

WTFDYW		2010-09-02 05:48:53 PM

Cool. It's going GREEN! This could be great.

Congrats subby

WTFDYW		2010-09-02 05:50:48 PM

BTW subby. You need to out yourself and give some details.

Marcus Aurelius		2010-09-02 05:50:49 PM

Will he be allowed to do barrel rolls? Because if I were piloting the ISS, I'd want to do barrel rolls.

This is a late parrot		2010-09-02 05:50:59 PM

AWESOME!!!

You have every right to be very proud, indeed.

tobiathan		2010-09-02 05:53:29 PM

This should be greenlighted, unless it is already, in which case: nevermind.

Yup.

Old_Chief_Scott		2010-09-02 05:55:53 PM

Well come on now, who is the child and does daddy know that they are a farker?

indarwinsshadow		2010-09-02 05:56:02 PM

Sounds like something we would be good at. It pretty much stationary (geosynchronous) there's little to command and few people pay attention to it.

Yep.

Sounds just like us.

HEY. WE'RE UP ABOVE THE PANTS. LOOK UP HERE!!

WTFDYW		2010-09-02 06:00:03 PM

Perhaps his dad can explain to us how the piss regenerater works and how the end product tastes.

/probably like budweiser or bud lite

I disagree.
I don't see it tasting better than miller lite.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener		2010-09-02 06:40:05 PM

Heartiest congrats to your father, subby, that's awesome news!

Best wishes to all-a-y'all!

Tr0mBoNe		2010-09-02 06:40:42 PM

I remember him speaking at my high school. Great guy. Canada's a pretty small country when you get down to it.

Snarfangel		2010-09-02 06:55:25 PM

In Canada, no one can hear you scream. Except the moose.

WTFDYW		2010-09-02 07:03:41 PM

If his dad gets a fark account and it's verified that it is indeed him, I'll sponser him for a month. Anyone else?
