To the Moon! (no, really!)
 

So the company Astrobotic is planning a commercial moon landing in 2015.

For real.

Now, aside from "normal" commercial and scientific payloads which can be delivered to the surface of the moon for a paltry $1.2 million per kilo, they are also offering "MoonMail," a service which will allow people to send very small personal objects aboard the spacecraft for a much lower cost.

For instance, a hexagonal payload container measuring 1" dia by 0.25" in thickness can be purchased for only $3,270.

That is an absolute bargain. I mean, I paid more than that for my car, and it's never been more than a few feet off the earth.

My first thought was obviously to wonder what percentage of the MoonMail container's total payload volume is going to wind up filled with small monoliths.

(cue awesome, eerie, psychedelic monolith music)

uhhhhh

So I need to setup a donations page on paypal so we can ship some mt.net turbo kitty stickers to the moon.

You won't even ship them to Florida on my dime, ya flippin' cocksucker!

The moon is way more realistic than #Flawda

There are no Florida bros on the moon.

Thankfully, I'm not a real Florida boy. I'm just visiting.

Test post

So for $460 I can send a cheerio or a short lug nut.

Could be a worthy investment, if the Earth ever runs out of cheerios.

I would send a condom to the moon and back, then use it to fuck a hot chick with my space dick.

Yeah but they don't send it back to you, Sam. It's not moon and back. It's a one way trip to send your crap, consolidated with a bunch of other peoples' crap, to the moon.

I've seen some dumb things today. By far, this is the dumbest.

They just want to be able to film a episode of hoarders on the moon once everyones crap gets up there.
