So THAT'S why they need such a big rocket...
Or the other way around. They need huge balls to operate such a huge... rocket.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.This is starting to sound like Austin Powers.
I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.This applies to a lot of ailments (hiccuping comes to mind) for which everyone around you is eager to provide a home remedy that is 100% guaranteed to work, none of which is the same and neither seems easy to apply.
Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.I've been a camp counselor for years, so I have a collection of bug bite "remedies." Some which actually do work, some which are designed to distract a kid so they don't scratch it, or whine about it (though those only really work on the little kids)
As someone who has camped in the woods of town that Lyme Disease was named after, I'm forced to be somewhat of an expert on bug bites

It's kind of weird because I honestly didn't realize until a few weeks ago when I decided to Google the rate of Lyme Disease, that most other states don't really have to worry about Lyme Disease. I've always lived in the dark blue part of this map. "Check for ticks" is synonymous with "put on sunscreen." It's perfectly normal to drive up to your campsite to find that it's been closed because there was such a high tick population at the time that entering the site was now a health hazard, so you had to drive to the next one. And I'd probably be back there in a few weeks when they opened it back up again.
At the camp I worked at, we had daily tick checks where everyone would grab a buddy and check each other's exposed skin for ticks (There's a methodology for this. Your scalp, hairline, armpits, and inside your socks are the most important places to check. Even the little kids knew that.) If someone had a tick it'd be taken out by the nurse. Every once in a while we'd have a tick scare if the tick count was especially high, every person would have to be checked by the nurse, we'd all jump in the chlorinated pool, and we'd have to call the camp authority and have parts of the camp closed down. It sounds scary when you say it like that, but it was just routine to us. "Welp, gotta close the units on the hill again" ("The hill" being the most woodsy part of camp) We haven't had a case of Lyme Disease at our camp in eight years, so hooray for us
So I guess I am an expert on bug bites, just because of where I'm from

When I went to summer camp I remember the closed off swimming area of the lake being close off because while the lake was always full of poisonous snakes and snapping turtles, this time it was a copperhead chilling out on the shore. No ticks though!
Eh, I just use Sting-eze. It's unavailable in Canada for some reason so we have to order it from the States, but so worth it. Numbs mosquito bites almost instantaneously.
I have enough Off Deep Woods bug spray left over from camp that these wimpy city mosquitoes don't stand a chance. No bug bites yet this year.
100%....
....DEET.
I think there’s a global conspiracy to see who can get the most clicks on the worst liesOne time I caught a mosquito in the act and put aloe and ice on the bite immediately and it didn't swell or itch.
Fresh-eyed movie blogIt is slightly less impressive if they were aiming for Saturn.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Good recovery though. It's not like they could have gotten to Jupiter by accident. That's like falling down the stairs and recovering with a cartwheel and backflip.

Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.Looks like the fantasy remake of My Name Is Nobody.
I'm disappointed there's nothing about Gnome Ann's Sky
That comic was great, though!
It is Gnome Ann's destiny to live forever.
I'm confused, I thought Gnome Ann was an island.
Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.Are you sure you're not thinking about Gnome Ann's land?
I like that when she broke up the married couple, she removes the guy and is interested in the girl.
I hope there will be more What Ifs coming soon.
Optimism is a duty.Gnome Ann knows where my friend Catherine lurks during the night.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.
Especially when they're stranded on Mars. ;)
