NPF...in SPACE!

It will function for several weeks, then its orbit will decay and it will burn up in the atmosphere. Interorbital plans to send up a load of 32 TubeSats every month. If you pay in full in advance, you get slotted onto a particular scheduled launch.

Oh man. Ooooooooh man. For just $8000 we can send Atomic Robo into space. Or a radio transmitter to broadcast 8-bit into space. Or a picture of a giant penis!

Or Brian's cat!

The possibilities are endless!

Or Brian!

Seriously, it's for the good of mankind.

No, we don't want to send Brian into space yet, he has to finish 8 bit theater first, then we can launch him into space. Only problem is he could mutate somehow and become an even greater danger to humanity. We should send fifthfiend in space too then, that way we can have a monster fight if they both mutate

I love how you're essentially paying 8K for whatever you send up to burn up in the atmosphere. That seems like an especial waste to me, because anything you send up will be ultimately destroyed. I really don't see the point.

Some people want their ashes sent into space after they die. This let's them do that for a set cost. I won't comment on whether that's a good idea or not.

So let me get this straight, in this past year we have discussed fighting pirates, starting our own country and I think there was a movement to get Robo elected president. Now we are discussing entering space?

Magus 08-03-2009 08:22 PM
Yeah, there seems to be little use for a half-pound payload other than ashes or something. I'm trying to come up with something worthwhile to send into space that only weighs half-a-pound but I'm coming up empty.

EDIT: Next week we discuss our plans for solving the Israeli-Palestinian crisis! WITH ZOMBIES!

Been a good year.

I'm think about starting a new business venture... what do you think?

"UNCLE BELLS TIME CAPSULE EMPORIUM!

Now, for just $349.99 we'll take ANYTHING you want to save for the FUUUUUUTURE and place it in a "high-tech", Teflon-vacuum-sealed-Time-capsule and dump it in a 10ft hole in the ground!

Not only that, but after 50 years you can comeback and take your capsule back!

Call now!"
