TODAY'S NEWS: I sometimes worry about perpetrating myths about the Space Program, because I really don't want to encourage those people who can't tell fact from fiction. But nobody should be saying "I read it in a comic on the Internet, so it must be true!"

Today's comic was up late because I came down with the flu Wednesday night. Fortunately, I had this comic in reserve, so I didn't have to try to assemble it with a fever (which might make the dialog more interesting in its randomness, but I somehow doubt it would be particularly coherent). With any luck, I'll be well in time to put together next week's comics.
