good one, can you get a picture that’s better of the thing on the left, though?

The scenes were staged in the same Hollywood basement.

Not yet. They’re installing the second lavoratory in November and then it will be complete, enough to hold SIX crew members.

I don’t know which is funnier, your name or that comment.

How do we know it’s NOT a Tie Fighter waiting for the right moment.

watch the original movies again, specifically the scenes where they show r2 in the x-wing fighter. i didn’t say their science was correct, just inconsistent.

Strangely enough the ISS has two Plasma Contactor Units which basically are small Ion engines to keep the station grounded. So it technically is a TIE……

what? there is color in space. that has nothing to do with atmosphere. sound requires a medium to travel – light does not.

Who else thought it was Thai fighter?

All these years, I’ve been harboring resentment toward the people of Thailand, up to and including my local Thai eateries.

I thought it was Two Idiotic Engineers? Here’s the rundown…
-
“Hey, Steve, wanna design an unarmored spacecraft designed for heavy fighting with only one window on the front, a cramped single-seat cockpit, huge, vulnerable solar panels, and make it produce the most annoying sound in the history of audio, all in space?”
“You bet, Rob! Will Vader like it?”
“What does he care, his son made out with his daughter.”

Do I have to be the Star Wars geek to bring this up? Okay: “TIE”, not “Tie”! It’s an acronym! Twin Ion Engine! Graaaaaaa — *my head a splode*

I’ve got a bad feeling about this…

Hooray for a funny one, finally.

lol, good one…always thought it was funny they accounted for no atmosphere = no color in space, but they didn’t account for the sound.

Look alike… sure… but sound alike? I don’t think the space station goes NEEEEERRRAAAAARRW! as it goes past. Especially not in the vaccuum of space.

Exactly!! FAIL!

… that ought to be “totally lookED like” – the picture of the ISS is outdated.
They’ve since installed big new solar panels and it’s more a “HI” shape than just the “H”.

Apart from that, yay for science closing in on fiction

lol, that’s one of the few look-alikes that actually look-alike

Are you sure that it’s not just some strangely shaped moon?

That’s not awesome. That’s fully operational international battle space station!

The point is to get laughs. This is a humor site. It is not SERIOUS BUSINESS. If you don’t like it, you can always just give it a low rating and move on.

However, you do get points for not abusing the protection of anonymity as flagrantly as I’ve seen in the past. Some people actually threaten violence over silly things like this.
