That will be a great 1.5 years journey!

A meme featuring a screenshot of a 2017 news article from The Express Tribune's Technology section with the headline 'Mars missions may be all-female to avoid astronauts having sex during 1.5-year journey'. Below the headline, there is a photo of four female astronauts in blue NASA uniforms posing in front of a spacecraft. The article shows 32,756 shares with Facebook and Twitter share buttons. A Twitter comment from Adrienne Adele Cox (@AdrienneACox) is overlaid at the bottom, reading 'Should we tell them? I wanna tell them..', which humorously critiques the article's premise by implying same-sex relationships were not considered in the logic of preventing sexual activity during space travel.

Origin notes

The image is a user-created remix combining a screenshot of a September 29, 2017 news article from The Express Tribune with an overlaid Twitter comment. It was shared on 9Gag, likely as a satirical take on the flawed reasoning of the original article about all-female Mars missions.

A screenshot of two tweets from X.com. The first tweet, posted by WeRateDogs (@dog_rates) on 4/6/20, features a photo of a brown bulldog named Nellie walking on grass with a large, transparent bubble surrounding her head, humorously framed as an 'astronaut' on a 'spacewalk.' The caption reads: 'This is Nellie. She's an astronaut. Please don't interrupt her spacewalk. 13/10' (a signature WeRateDogs over-10 rating). Below this, a reply tweet from NASA (@NASA) on the same date references Neil Armstrong's famous moon landing quote, adapting it to: 'That's one small boop for the pup; one giant boop for pupkind.' accompanied by a paw print and rocket emoji. The tweets have engagement metrics: 682 comments, 32K retweets, and 261K likes for WeRateDogs' post, and 148 comments, 4.4K retweets, and 65K likes for NASA's reply.

The meme consists of two main parts: a top section mimicking a news headline under the 'SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY' category, reading 'NASA warns alien life may not be fuckable' with a timestamp '2 DAYS AGO by ALEX BRAULT'. Below this is a photograph of a white cat with blue eyes, its mouth wide open in a yowling expression, overlaid with the text 'Sad Horny noises'. The humor arises from the absurdity of a supposed NASA warning about the 'fuckability' of extraterrestrial life, paired with the cat's dramatic, anthropomorphized reaction, conveying exaggerated disappointment and frustration.

This image is a screenshot of a viral X (formerly Twitter) post. The user recounts a humorous, ironic story: they asked their father to help them replace the motherboard of their Xbox console. The father sarcastically replied, "do i look like a fucking rocket scientist?", unaware that the user knows he previously worked for NASA, meaning he is literally qualified as a rocket scientist/advanced aerospace engineer, creating a funny, relatable example of dry dad humor. The post was published at 1:13 AM on November 11, 2018, and has accumulated 15.8K retweets and 118K likes. The poster uses an anime character as their profile picture, with the display name 'ashley' and handle @lesbianuraraka.

This collage meme is divided into two sections. The upper section is a screenshot of a text conversation: the first sender sends a blue message reading "Wemen are the best!", misspelling the word "Women". A contact named Riya replies with a smiling emoji, thanking the sender before correcting the spelling, noting the first vowel should be 'o' instead of 'e'. The original sender responds with another blue message, making a clever pun: they state they actually forgot a space after the first 'e', implying they intended to write "We men are the best" rather than compliment women. The lower section uses the widely recognized Drake slow clap reaction image, showing rapper Drake and another man sitting in an event audience, clapping slowly in impressed, approving reaction to the sender's pun.

This is a satirical two-panel meme mocking mass media outlets for deliberately taking expert quotes out of context to produce sensational, misleading headlines. The top panel features text where a scientist states, 'My discoveries are useless if taken out of context', paired with the popular reaction image of a man in a lab coat holding two red tabs while gesturing as if explaining a point. The bottom panel is labeled 'Media:' and shows a fake social media news post that cuts off the conditional part of the scientist's quote, with the headline reading 'Scientist claim their discoveries are useless'. The bottom of the post includes share icons for Facebook, Twitter/X, WhatsApp, and email, alongside a username 'thatcucumberguy' and a timestamp of 29 minutes ago. The joke highlights a common criticism of modern clickbait journalism that prioritizes engagement over factual accuracy.

This image is a screenshot of an Instagram comment thread. The original poster asks a common question: why do space capsules never land back on solid land, and always splash down in the ocean? The post includes a photo of NASA's Artemis program Orion capsule floating in the ocean after splashdown, with a truncated news caption confirming the safe return of astronauts. A second commenter replies with a simple, humorously blunt explanation of why water splashdown is used, breaking the physics down into easy, silly terms that are still accurate.

The meme features a photograph of a man and woman lying in bed, facing away from each other, under white covers. The woman is on the left side, lying on her left with arms crossed, and the man is on the right side, lying on his right with one hand under his pillow. Both have neutral expressions. Overlaid text represents their internal thoughts: the woman thinks, "He's probably thinking about other women...", while the man thinks, "if a pregnant woman swims underwater then is she literally a humanoid submarine". The contrast between their serious vs. absurd thoughts creates humor.

The meme is divided into two sections. The top section displays an image of solar panels with overlaid text reading: 'US town rejects solar farm amid worries it would "suck up all the energy from the Sun"', mimicking a news headline. The bottom section features a large, heavily distorted yellow face with exaggerated facial features—wide, glassy eyes, raised eyebrows, and an agape mouth—labeled 'NASA scientists:' to visually represent shock, disbelief, or amusement at the town's scientifically unfounded concern about solar energy.

This meme combines a sci-fi themed scenario with a reaction image from the US sitcom *The Office*. The top text describes a frustrating, absurd situation: a person spends 3000 years in hypersleep traveling to a distant star, only to wake up and find that humanity invented a far faster spaceship just 50 years after they left, resulting in a full human civilization already established at the destination. Below the text is a screenshot of Jim Halpert (portrayed by John Krasinski) making a strained, tight-lipped disappointed smile, which perfectly conveys the feelings of wasted effort, letdown, and the absurdity of being completely outpaced by technological progress. The joke leans into common sci-fi tropes of interstellar travel and hypersleep, using the relatable reaction image to amplify the comedic irony of the scenario.

This meme combines a viral real-life photograph from the Artemis II rocket launch event with a popular gender comparison meme template, joking about modern selfie culture. At the top, text reads 'Artemis II launch... caught in my glasses reflection', paired with two photos: a wide selfie of an excited woman at the outdoor launch site, and a close-up of her face showing the rocket launch reflected in her round glasses. Below the photos is a screenshot of a tweet from verified user Ben Harris asking the critical question: 'Why would you take a selfie during a once-in-a-generation rocket launch?'. At the bottom is the meme template titled 'Photographing something you want to show everyone' that contrasts how men and women photograph subjects: the left 'Males' panel shows just a simple photo of the target object, while the right 'Females' panel shows a smiling woman with the object reflected in her glasses, perfectly matching the viral photo to answer the critical question with a playful joke.

This is a screenshot of a social media post featuring a meme. The top section shows a dolphin leaping out of ocean water. Below the image, a bold headline reads: "Scientists Have Just Announced Today That Dolphins Are Second To Man In Intelligence Levels." The punchline comes from the top comment by user KOMRADE_DIMITRI: "Yeesh, women in 3rd place now." The joke relies on a sarcastic twist of the headline's phrasing: the word "Man" is intended to mean humanity in the headline, but the comment misinterprets it to mean adult human males, creating an edgy, misogynistic joke that places women below dolphins in an implied intelligence ranking.
