CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #313

[Rich Wong]

This is a spy photo of Team 842's planned stage trick at the IRI found on www. BillfredHilton.com (The gossip website of Chiefdephi).

Photo caption," After a tiny Lunar Rover float on to the IRI stage and land, eight Team 842 member will actually crawl out of it!"

To further their outreach programs, 842 is trying to start a team on the moon. However, there have been a few logistical problems:

1. No signs of intelligent life
2. With gas prices these days, transportation costs a fortune
3. At the moment, there is no FedEx: Space, so shipping their robot would be difficult
4. While they may have plenty of real moon rocks, the nearest Walmart to buy orbit balls at is on average 238,857 miles away
5. One day on the moon is equivalent to about 27.3 Earth days, so a 6-week build season would give them a lot of extra time.
6. Earth to moon weight conversions could get slightly confusing.

Team 842 visits NASA to get a leg up on the future Lunacy Part II. When the St. Louis venue contract expires, Championships will be held on the Moon.

Does this make weight?
