As some of you may have heard, I was presented with an award for New Space Journalism on Saturday night. As I said when I accepted it, I thought that it was a grave injustice, so I let the teddy bears, or dogs, or whatever they are accept it instead. The thing that I like about these guys is that they are brutally honest, whether when discussing venal politicians in space districts or space-journalism poseurs. It can sometimes be a problem, though, as you’ll see.
I have to admit, it was a little embarrassing. Don’t kids just say the darndest things?
I’m still looking for all the women I supposedly get. And if any rocket scientists out there can recommend a materials-compatible lubricant for the suggested procedure, I’d appreciate it.

For those people worried that she really won’t do any more videos, don’t sweat it. Sometimes the talent can be temperamental, but I’ll calm her down. I’m thinking I’ll buy her a cute little poodle skirt and a pair of pom poms, so she can cheer for SLS. She’ll love it.
Rah.
Did you remember to thank all the little people?
They get upset if you don’t thank them.
Brilliant! 😀
Now, just think what kind of women you’d get if you were a REAL journalist, instead of a pretend one? 😉
That’s just awesome!
Just saw a note about your award on Instapundit and had to come right over here to say CONGRATULATIONS!
You deserve it.
…just think what kind of women you’d get if you were a REAL journalist, instead of a pretend one?
Maybe something like this.
Is that photo for those wondering where all the sideways rockets went?
Congrats on the award.
The chicks dig me better.
Congratulations, Rand, although I would have preferred some sort of warning on that last link.
Yo! Props to the Space Policy Teddy Bears…and that Simburgerwhatever guy, too.
Just for those curious, I’m about 99% sure that the above comment was not really from Jim Muncy.
Poor Broccoli man, trapped in that cage, forgotten…
Maybe Broccoli Man will be remembered in The Will.
Felicitations, Rand!
Congrats, just found out. Well deserved. XD
Wow, the XN guys got an award! Congratulations! They do great videos. Rand, you should consider doing videos rather than just writing. Although, I must admit I was delayed in responding to this thread because I didn’t have time for the video until today. I wish I had made time earlier because that was hilarious. Well done!
