Every now and then a joke pops into my head and gives me a little chuckle. Some return again and again over the years, and I still find them funny. So it was the other day, as my memory played out the punch line of one of my favorites, that I felt the urge to share it with others who either haven’t heard it, or have heard it but would still enjoy it.
Here’s the one that got this started. Please reply with your favorite joke(s):
During a manual docking maneuver, the supply vehicle Progress collided with the orbiting Mir space station. The pilot of Progress misjudged the distance between Mir and Progress and, before he could stop, Progress struck a solar array and the hull of one section of Mir.
NASA conducted a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the crash and take action to prevent future mishaps. Having determined the collision was caused by limitations in the pilot’s visibility, NASA prescribed a simple solution, consisting of a decal applied to the pilot’s viewport. The decal read:
“Objects in Mir are closer than they appear.”
