Radio conversation overheard this morning:
International Space Station (ISS): "ISS to NASA. Something odd to report. Do you read us?"
NASA: "Yes, ISS, we read you. Hey, ya homies, whaz up? Havin' fun up there?"
ISS: "Uh– We just passed over Blanco, Texas, NASA. It appears that something's not quite right down there–"
NASA: "Like what? Do we need to notify the White House?" [Chuckle]
ISS: "Uh, hold off on that for now–"
NASA: "Well, what do you see? Must not be that big of a deal."
ISS: "Moonscapes–"
NASA: "Moonscapes, ISS? Hey, is this your cocktail hour up there?" [Snicker]
ISS: "No. [Unintelligible words] YES, NASA. We repeat MOONSCAPES. LOTS of moonscapes. Especially in one area on Ninth Street."
NASA: "Okay, okay, don't get your panties in a wad. Got some images for us?" [More snickers]
ISS: Just sent. Should be in your inbox now–"
Radio silence–
ISS: "Hello? ISS to NASA? You still read us?
More radio silence–
ISS: "Hello, hello?"
Continued radio silence–
ISS: "Guys, I think NASA hung up on us–"
NASA: "No, we're still here, ISS. Images received. Uh, [cough, cough] we're on this like June on a bug. Have a call into the Blanco mayor and The President, too. We'll have this issue resolved ASAP. Good job, ISS."
ISS: Ten four, NASA. Thanks so much for your (unintelligible words) help. Over and OUT."
