IT'S ALSO, SEE THIS YEAR RIGHT HERE, IT'S THERE TOO.
AND I LIKE TO TELL YOU THE LATEST COSMIC DEVELOPMENTS IN MY
ONGOING SEGMENT: >> SPACE NEWS!
(APPLAUSE) ,
>> Stephen: FIRST UP, MARS LANDER NEWS!
FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, NASA'S "INSIGHT" LANDER HAS BEEN
EXPLORING MARS, BUT NO MORE, BECAUSE OVER THE HOLIDAYS, NASA
CONFIRMED THAT THE NASA MARS LANDER INSIGHT, DIED.
BUT THAT'S OKAY, YOU KNOW? IT'S A PART OF LIFE.
"ASHES TO ASHES.... BEEP TO BOOP."
(LAUGHTER) BUT WHAT REALLY GOT PEOPLE WAS
THIS TWEET THAT INSIGHT SENT OUT IN ITS LAST MOMENTS:
"MY POWER'S REALLY LOW, SO THIS MAY BE THE LAST IMAGE I CAN
SEND. DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME THOUGH: MY
TIME HERE HAS BEEN BOTH PRODUCTIVE SERENE.
IF I CAN KEEP TALKING TO MY MISSION TEAM, I WILL, BUT I'LL
BE SIGNING OFF HERE SOON. THANKS FOR STAYING WITH ME."
THIS IS THE MOST THIS IS THE MOST EMOTIONAL I'VE
BEEN ABOUT A ROBOT SINCE MY ROOMBA WAS MURDERED.
I SUSPECT THE HUMIDIFIER. NEXT UP, "LIFE ON VENUS NEWS!"
AFTER SEARCHING BUT FINDING NO
EVIDENCE OF CHEMICAL MARKERS FOR MICROBES, RESEARCHERS HAVE
ANSWERED THE QUESTION: "LIFE ON VENUS?
NO CHANCE." SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
UPDATE THAT BOOK TITLE TO "MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM, I
WOMEN ARE FROM, I DUNNO, TRENDTON?
NEXT UP, "AUSTRALIAN SPACE NEWS!"
ANOTHER CRUSTACEAN ON THE FLESH BURNING MACHINE.
IT'S OFFICIAL. AFTER THREE DECADES OF
DEVELOPMENT, "CONSTRUCTION OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST RADIO
ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN IN AUSTRALIA."
OF COURSE, AUSTRALIA "NEEDS" THEIR TELESCOPE TO BE LARGE.
SINCE THEY'RE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE EARTH, THEY'RE MUCH FURTHER
AWAY FROM SPACE. SPACE IS UP, SPACE IS UP.
THAT'S SCIENCE. THAT'S SCIENCE, LOUIS.
NEXT UP, "SPACE HOTEL NEWS!!" >> $30 FOR A TOBLERONE?!
YOU MAY SOON BE ABLE TO BRAVELY VACATION WHERE NO ONE HAS
VACATIONED BEFORE, BECAUSE THE HOTEL CHAIN HILTON WILL DESIGN
LODGING FOR A FUTURE SPACE STATION.
HOW DARE YOU HILTON? A CRAMPED, DARK POD IN A COLD,
SOULLESS VOID? THAT'S LA QUINTA'S GAME!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
