Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Neil and Buzz, moon owners.
I don't know what none of these dials mean no more.
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Two flight controllers in a dark control room wait for the video link to a Moon-bound capsule. When the feed arrives, two astronauts in black-and-white footage cheer about owning the Moon, chant and dance with an American flag, and ignore Houston's requests to settle down. A controller asks for a carbon level, and one astronaut admits he was so thrilled that he forgot his training and no longer understands the dials. Mission control keeps trying to guide the landing while the pair stay giddy, and the sketch ends on the lunar surface with the astronauts posing triumphantly beside the flag.
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
