NASA “offers” Jon Stewart an acronym, too

I cannot tell you how much I’m enjoying NASA of late. Today, they’ve tickled my funnybone by sending a “(Fake News) Press Release” to Space Shuttle Discovery at the International Space Station as part of the day’s Execute Package.

From NASA (click here or on the image to enlarge):

NASA - 9-2-2009 Execute package

Yes, they really did send this (check out page one of the .pdf, as linked from the official NASA.gov site).

Mad love for the great people over at NASA (I’m even forgiving them for misspelling Stephen’s name), and a big tip of the hat to the folks at Universe Today for linking it.

    That’s wonderful. I love the pictures! “Disappointed Stewart”, haha!
    And the use of the word “thingy” in the acronym.

    If Jon did say yes, I wonder what it would stand for?

    Awww that is awesome! (even more awesome, the “/Recycling Thingy” in the acronym)
    Times like this make me sad that the shows are on a break… They could use this in a Toss! (*crosses fingers and prays that they mention this when the shows return*)
