Fix!

07/30/2024

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has teamed up again with AASA (Anachronism Association for Silly Adventures) in its efforts to spend money in every Congressional district in the continental US (United States). Coming off the raging success* of their Klondike Five spaceship launch vehicle, AASA scored a contract for repair and maintenance of NASA's Starliner crew capsule.

Although the Starliner is made by Boeing (Billions Owed Every Instance of Nose into Ground), NASA decided that maintenance responsibilities should be given to an outfit that can work on transports without causing parts to fall off mid-flight.

AASA has subcontracted with Anachronism's Mayor-owned Poiuyt Gas Station, Ltd., to do the actual work and cash the actual checks. Here we see ace mechanic Y. Donahue "Buzz" Ouff working on the latest Starliner to be hauled to the station's Capsule Repair Building (future site thereof) and spare parts yard.

Says mechanic Buzz, "If you've worked on a few toasters, a washing machine here and there, and a '57 Chevy, you've pretty much got what it takes to work on one of these things. The last few Starliners I fixed made it into space just fine. We'll be able to see how well my repairs held up if they can ever find one to bring back."

Again joining the space race, Anachronism zooms into the 1960s!
