Batten Those Hatches

Surprise spacewalk

Two astronauts on a SpaceX Starship managed to do the first privately funded spacewalk after the main hatch flew open and one of them fell out into space.

When he clambered back in to the safety of their ship, a second female astronaut also clambered out saying she needed some fresh air.

Luckily the latest space suits were being used by the astronauts and prevented them from succumbing to depressurization and lack of oxygen. Once the hatch was closed, the cabin was successfully repressurized automatically.

SpaceX mission control made a note on a yellow post-it note to check hatch openers on future missions but all the astronauts returned safely - unlike those currently stuck on the ISS after their Boeing Starliner lost a door and then started making funny noises.

The reclusive Norwegian head of the Davos-based Mysterons, Olaf Hurtigruten, told FNN:

We are not worried by this latest SpaceX success.

Nor are we concerned about the rumour that Musk is in Switzerland and secretly using the Sarco suicide pod to help acclimatize his astronauts to the Martian atmosphere of carbon-dioxide and nitrogen.

Cowering earthlings! You will never manage to invade Mars however effective your spacesuits are. Whoooohahahahaha!

He then used his matter transference powers to turn a tootsie roll into a pork chipolata.

Interesting?
