A web comic of romance,
sarcasm, math, and language.
Panel One: Drawing of a stick figure seated at a table with a laptop, facing right. A voice comes from off-panel left.
Person 1: Hah–Neil DeGrasse Tyson has a great reply to people who doubt astronauts went to the moon.
Person 2, Off-panel: Oh?
Person 1: “Atop 3,000 tons of rocket fuel, where else do you think they were headed?”
Panel Two: A stick figure with long dark hair, talking to Person 1, who is now off-panel.
Person 2: Cute. – But it overlooks an even simpler argument.
Person 1, Off-panel: Which is?
Panel Three: Person 1 and Person 2 are both in the panel. Person 1 is standing on the left and Person 2 has turned the chair to look at Person 2.
Person 2: If NASA were willing to fake great accomplishments, they’d have a second one by now.
Person 1: Ouch.
Person 2: …Too mean?
Person 1: That burn was so harsh I think you deorbited.
Hover text: Ok, so Spirit and Opportunity are pretty awesome. And Kepler. And New Horizons, Cassini, Curiosity, TiME, and Project M. But c’mon, if the Earth were a basketball, in 40 years no human’s been more than half an inch from the surface.
Warning: This comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).
