Humans had been exploring space for years. Think of the fantastical achievements - sending rockets with computing equipment designed to last decades, on an endless trajectory. There are photos of distant planets and asteroids. Landing humans on the moon and having humans live for months on end in a space station. But until that point, no one had ever achieve...

Author's Note: From an idea by a friend on another site comes this story of role playing, X-men, funny stuff, and hamsters. It's probably much funnier if you've ever played a role-playing game. I combined it with another story a role-player told me about a game where he had giant space hamsters, and his players got out of hand with them. This is the result....

Doctor Asraf Al Aziz could hardly contain his excitement while watching the circular pressure door slowly swing open. A middle-aged man sporting a grizzled beard and a big smile appeared in the opening.
"As-salamu alaykum Asraf."
" Wa alaykumu s-salam Habib," Asraf replied returning the smile. "Permission to come aboard sir."
"Permission granted," the cap...

Just a little parody I did for fun.
Day of launch April 11 – NASA Mission Control Center, Houston
"Looks like Mr. Kranz has pulled out the old needle and thread again," some of the flight controllers muttered, as a large white package landed on the flight director's desk.
"The last one looks like she'd bought it from a gypsy."

Thanks to Todger 65 for the edit.
As dumps go this isn't half bad. Judy strolled along the beach. The beach wasn't pretty or pristine but the description couldn't apply to the planet either. Grayson World's lack of tourist attractiveness came not from dangerous lifeforms but its utter colorlessness...

I took a deep breath as my gaze moved across the rows of sophisticated equipment. The room was a bit stuffy from the heat being generated by all of it running at the same time. We had adjusted the air conditioning down twice already, but there was only so much it could do to make headway against the massive amount of power that was being consumed here today....
