Getting misty-eyed imagining the future: spaceships exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations, going boldly &c., &c., all while triumphantly bearing “ARSE” in large letters on their hulls.
I have never felt more patriotic than I do at this very moment.
@ladytp @rabbitbaratheon ahem, is this a joke or are australians just a bunch of irreverent people who thought that this would be so awesome????
Of course they think it would be awesome! Other name suggestions (as alas, so far this is just a suggestion, to my knowledge) include Bureau of Australian Space Travel And Research Department (BASTARD) and Australian Regional Space Exploration Department (ARSED)…
