Interstellar Spaceship

NASA once dreamed of reaching Mars, but now a group of enthusiasts in Nevada are welding together an "interstellar spaceship" from spare RV parts and old Xbox consoles. Witnesses at the desert site reported that one engine was powered by a leaf blower. Professor Harold Ingersoll of MIT commented: "Technically, it might achieve lift-off, if you count bouncing off a trampoline as space travel." Anonymous staffers leaked that the spaceship’s navigation system is a Garmin GPS taped to a lava lamp. A survey by the American Space Society found that 39% of Americans would still buy tickets, provided it comes with free Wi-Fi and peanuts. Trace evidence on-site included duct tape, Monster Energy cans, and one enthusiastic man in a cape yelling "Warp speed!" Cause and effect? The more ridiculous the spaceship, the more people believe it will actually work. Humanity may not reach Alpha Centauri, but we’ll definitely create the galaxy’s first airborne tailgate party.
