Snacks Always Work With Me Too

"It’s the saddest moment of my life."

—astronaut Ed White after finishing his spacewalk on August 31, 1965


 


"Ed, spacewalk’s over."

"Aw, just a few minutes more?"

"Negative. We need you to re-enter the spacecraft now."

"Nope."

"…sorry?"

"Nope as in Not Gonna Happen. It’s NICE out here."

"Edward Higgins White, you get your fanny back in there RIGHT NOW."

"Mmmmmmmake me."

"Ed. Eddy. Edward. There’s a treat for you if you comply."

"Oh?"

"We hid snacks under your seat."

"Snacks?"

"BUT they’re not vacuum tolerant. You’ll need to enter the spacecraft, re-pressurize, then—"

"Okay FINE. It’s the saddest moment of my life."

See, that's negative thinking. He should focus on having the experience, not the fact that he'll never have it again.

But...there were snacks which are just below punch and pie in goodness.
