Thanks! I suspect that NASA can relate, hehe.

So I saw that other thread and was inspired to make a little parody of my own. The plot is basically that Jeb has been transferred to a new job within the space program, where he's in charge of it instead. Unfortunately, however, it's also in serious financial trouble, and an adventurous Bob seems to believe that Jeb has a lot more power than he actually does. I don't typically write songs - this is actually the first one I've completed - so the quality may be lacking in several areas. Many lines may simply not sound as good as those of the original, but then again, this is just for fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xGEMyn4DKY Bob: Jeb? Will you let us go to Duna? Come on, let's go explore! We've never landed anywhere I know you dare! Why are you such a bore? You used to be a badass But now you're lame I'm tired of LKO! Will you let us go to Duna? Or we could just go to Minmus Jeb: P*ss off, Bob! Bob: Okay, bye. Financial guy: I'm afraid you're gonna have to cut those heavy launchers entirely. If you'd ever need to send up something big, you'll just have to... Jeb and Financial guy: Add more boosters. Jeb: Yes, I know. Bob: Will you let us go to Duna? It's time to go for something cool Let's send away some kind of probe at least Someone just said they crashed our last one into Jool Awesome work, Mission Control! Our space program is boring All these cancelled plans I'm sick of these budget cuts! Nope, nope! Nope, nope! Nope, nope! Nope! Jeb: This is stupid! We can't do anything like this! Financial guy: I understand, but getting upset about it won't help. You simply have to try and make the most of what you have. Financial guy: She sure was a fine ship. It's sad to see her go. Jeb: Is there really no other way? Financial guy: I'm sorry, Jebediah. Bob: Hello? Jeb, I know you're in there I guess you've already been told They've scrapped our shuttle and laid off its crew And we have nothing new It's all on hold We need something exciting Or else we're through We're gonna lose our jobs! Will you let us go to Duna?

Simple: It's one of its cousins! I think we should stop now. We don't wanna get this thread closed for off-topic.

The Kraken is my property.

So you're tricking him into believing that everything is okay so that he'll stay with you long enough for you to kill him? You're evil! I used a wormhole. It's partially responsible for my space program's high death toll. Here's a part of the newest addition to the pile.

I believe it should be "Das Vaterland". The noun Land, and by extension Vaterland, is neutral, not feminine.

Just so you could torment them again? You make me sick! Anyway, I realized that my Munar body pile wasn't big enough, so I sent a specialized rover to expand it some more.

That's exactly what I was thinking! EDIT: No, wait. It wasn't. I said everything was in order. Oh, well. I agree anyway!

Yes, I know.

1/10 I might have seen you before, but I'm not sure.

I don't see what the problem is? Everything seems to be in order to me.

You're a monster!

And here's the second verse. Will you let us go to Duna? It's time to go for something cool Let's send away some kind of probe at least Someone just said they crashed our last one into Jool (Awesome work, Mission Control!) Our space program is boring All these cancelled plans I'm sick of these budget cuts! (Nope-nope, nope-nope, nope-nope, nope-nope, nope-nope)

No, there's really nothing creepy going on there. I placed them there myself. That's awful. Do you kill Kerbals just to see how people will react? Shame on you!

For some reason, this made me feel all happy inside.

9/10 I see you a lot.

Granted, but you don't get to know how. I wish for a pencil.

Dead Kerbals consume no snacks. As soon as a Kerbal signs up for my space program, they're legally considered dead. This is why most of my astronauts are condemned prisoners. Anyhow, as my space program is obviously beyond redemption, I might as well expand that body pile a little. After all, it could be bigger!

Judge? Why would they? I did everything in my power to keep them safe. I promise!

1/10 Your name does sound vaguely familiar.

Suddenly found all the Kerbals I've ever killed in my space program on the floor of a secret crater on the Mun.

Went to a secret crater on the Mun and made a terrible discovery: the bodies of every Kerbal I've ever killed in my space program!

These are all excellent ideas! First and foremost, however, I will try simply adjusting the shape of the pentagon and the circle of Kerbals surrounding the carcass. I have to rule out all the simplest errors at first before trying anything expensive! It's quite a difficult thing to eyeball, though, so in order to save time I'll have to assemble some kind of hollow frame that will be transported to the site for reference. And how foolish of me! Of course Kerbals will have to be sacrificed, as well! In plural! I should have known. I shall discuss the matter with the Cerebral Board at once!

Starscream? Is that you? They called me mad, but I will show them a real space program!

This inspires me.
