“We are celebrating the success of Nasa’s mission to hit an asteroid with a spacecraft going 15,000mph, in a test of their ability to alter the path of space rocks on potential collision paths with Earth. Some have called the mission, known as Dart (Double Asteroid Redirection Test), the world’s first planetary defense mission, which is exciting news really for everyone other than the Space Force. They’re like ‘can’t you let us have anything?’” —Jimmy Kimmel
“The rocket weighed about 1,000 pounds, which is kinda amazing. Two large pigs weigh 1,000 pounds. Nasa’s plan to avoid the annihilation of humankind is basically a reverse Angry Birds.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“There was a control room celebration after the successful asteroid strike, in which Nasa staff hugged and high-fived. I feel like half the reason you take a job at Nasa is for this control room standing ovation moment. These people fired at and hit an asteroid more than 7 million miles away – they celebrated with a round of the lamest high-fives you’ve ever seen in your life.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth
and Orwell’s 1984.”
