@daniel damn i wished they wouldnt have used stickers and blue pins on that model ​​

(i have the same model sitting on top of my NAS)

@daniel This looks like seconds before unintended take-off.

@daniel Momoooooo 😍

@daniel A Magnificat? #Nevermoor

@daniel 😆 And with Lego, we had less #spaceDebris.

@daniel positively lying under my chair and crying with laughter!

@daniel "The problem was she kept knocking it off the table."

@daniel Fascinating how the ceramic heat shield panels almost look like Lego bricks!

@daniel The Italians kept their supercats secret.

@daniel They saved de-orbit burn fuel by batting the shuttle out of orbit.

@daniel @lisamelton And so the legend of the Thundercats began

@daniel yes, but it was decided to use the 747s as they were found to be less aloof and more reliable for transporting, especially over long distances.. as the giant cats tended to get distracted with warm napping spots, catnip, food and occasional city wide pets and it was delaying arrivals and subsequent launches. it was also found during initial testing that sometimes when catnip would become involved, the giant cat would roll over and crush said shuttle, but that wasnt disclosed to the public, they would just rename subsequent shuttles with the same name to pretend there was an unbroken line of flights... its also possible that giant cat hairball might have played a part in several shuttle accidents over the years... some on television, some found before they reached that level of destruction.

@daniel
That's a cover-up story. But every true believer knows that in early tests the giant cats kept knocking the shuttles off of the edge of the Earth.

@daniel they lost terrible amounts of money as a result of this scheme until one of the missing shuttles was discovered under the refrigerator

@daniel Cats in space!

@daniel Behold the power of purrs.
