Helpful Labeling

I wish Ikea could be this clear in their assembly instructions.

Roger Bellettie has an amusing image of one of the pylons on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (the modified Boeing 747 that is used to ferry Orbiters when they have to be moved from one location to another).

In case you have trouble making out the wording, it says:

PLACE ORBITER
HERE...BLACK
SIDE DOWN.

Remember this next time someone says that NASA has no sense of humor.

Of course some people at NASA have a sense of humor. It's practically a job requirement if you want to stay sane.

While at NASA Goddard I was the Revered Founder and President of The Greater Washington Nude Recreational Tunneling Club and Sentence Diagramming Society, the Oblate in Abstentia Chapter of the World Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things. We went out drinking on an irregular basis. No, we did not have management approval.
