Normally someone else puts the medal around your neck. Tradition that goes back to antiquity. "But hey, you grab that bitch yourself, Mr President! That's yours! You won that!"

They would have had to refuel dozens of times to get to Miami, but They could have done that pretty easily with blown out eardrums, burned skin and broken bones. . .isn't that right Senator Cotton?

Big spiders. Americans see those and they instantly want to wrap themselves tightly in blankets and make babies. I've lived in Australia and the USA and I know this for a fact. We're going to have to import all the Australian spiders into the USA.
Seriously - no one knows.

They think those two (reasonable) things are communist and democrat plots.
You'd have to go to the last person he talked to about birthrates in the USA to figure out what he was referring to and who put an idea about Australia into his head.

He sounds like he had a couple cocktails for lunch and maybe something in the afternoon as well. Slurring, not completing multi-syllable words. Good job putting that guy on tv, Fox NotNews.

Just a few Lockheed Martin cost overruns for the original specs of "stronger, faster, smarter, better than before." Nothing as bad as the F-35 program, though.

Dunno. You have to be incredibly precise, centered, focused, skilled, and sensible to have the kind of career he had and then get selected for the astronaut program. I'll bet there's near zero chance he makes a mistake in public speaking.

I remember working in a large office environment (think cubicle farm) in the 1980s and it was considered bad form to cook either fish in the microwave, or the 10-12 minute baked potatoes. Rules were made, signs were posted, restrictions placed. . . but microwave chaos and discontent still occurred.

Sorry. I remember when I retired from the service and started earning my keep as a self-employed woodworker and one day I couldn't see the line I was cutting. Not fun.
