View From New Space Station Cupola Resembles TIE Cockpit

In a rather amazing case of life imitating art, the first views out the International Space Station's new cupola windows looks like the cockpit windows of a TIE fighter, or the Millenium Falcon.

It's a little-known fact, buried deep in the plans, that the cupola has two slots for the launch of packets of leftover green jello for when the ISS crew needs that "pew-pew!" feeling when looking out the windows.

As long as there isn't an exaust port shaft that leads straight to the main power system in which a precise hit down the shaft destroys the station.

"Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battlestation!"

(inserts jello into little airlock tubes)

"Pew, pew!"

I just hope it's more solid then Ties, else any space dust hitting it will cause it to explode violently... :)

Is just too bad that Obama has shut down the entire US manned Space program and now only the Russians and the Chinese will get to go to space while the U.S dies a slow horrible death just as Oblongo always wanted, oh well...
