Space shuttle mission to the Moon
There’s a Space Shuttle mission to the moon with 2 monkeys and a woman on board.
The headquarters in the US calls: “Monkey #1, Monkey #1 report to coms for instructions.” He sits down and he is told to release the pressure in compartment 1, increase the temperature in engine 4 and to release oxygen to the reactors. So the monkey does the pressure, temperature, and releases the oxygen.
A few moments later headquarters calls again: “Monkey #2, Monkey #2 report to coms for instructions.” He sits down and he is told to add Carbon Dioxide to room 4, to stop the fuel injection to engine 3, to add nitrogen to the fuel compartment and to analyse the solar radiation. So the monkey does the carbon dioxide, the fuel injection, the nitrogen and the analysis of solar radiation.
A little later on, headquarters calls again: “Woman, woman please report to coms for instructions.” She sits down and just as she is about to be told what to do she says….. “I know, I know!! Feed the monkeys, and don’t touch a damn thing.”
