Would be even creepier if everyone pretended like we never sent them 😏
Wrong universe! Get out we have no jobs for you!
Is this a reference to a movie?
What if we got some people extensive plastic surgery to look just like the artemis 2 crew and act all surprised like how did we get a second crew they just came back two days ago
this is like the 5th meme like this I’ve seen, I think I’m hitting a breaking point
also, this feels like boomer humor or something, it feels so weirdly out-of-touch and not self-aware (hey, like I’m being right now!)
Honestly, if the entire world could coordinate something as ridiculous and harmless as pranking a few astronauts, that would already be a pretty amazing sign. Like, imagine billions of people actually agreeing on something silly instead of arguing for once. World peace, but it starts with ape costumes and a shared sense of humor. I’d take that timeline.
Same
are you a boomer? lol
I’m in between generation x and y. The baby boom ended around 1965, partly because the birth control pill, introduced in 1960 (and becoming widely used in the early 1960s), allowed people to better control family size.
Afaik this originated when John Glenn made a return to space, aged 77, in 1998, e.g. (first forum post that I found)

Don’t let this man distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
It’s not even original. This joke was originally made back in 1998 when John Glenn went up on the Space Shuttle.
It would be funny if the ground crew met them with masks:
“Uh, guys, a funny thing happened while you were on the Dark Side of the Moon…”
