What a Blast

Russia has just shattered our space
So we must find another place
Where we can orbit
Sucking our sorbet
As we think up how to save face

Hello Rico - I liked the title and the entry stayed upbeat throughout. This is timely light yet with a message for certain. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

The question is: who beat Kim Jong Un to the phone to tell Putin, "I want one of those?"

The USA military budget is larger than the combined military budgets of China, North Korea, and Russia, yet we were still caught with our britches down. (Japanese news reports the USA and China also target old satellites). Aloha!
