Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 29, 2019

Impressive reception to get a text message that far away.

I like the helmet hair.

Won’t oxygen leak out of his helmet’s hair slot?

I like the homage to 2001 a space odyssey

How’s he getting reception up there?

SpaceX starship hopper! Don’t know how much of a hop it has, but hope that it doesn’t get one of its feet stuck in a crater.

I like how his spacesuit looks like the early designs NASA had (from an old book I read)… And I think that’s where the “2001: A Space Odyssey” took their suit design from… ;-)

“To the moon, Lio!”

Will this ride be really exciting?

some cheese perhaps?

“It’s ten o’clock. Do you know where your astronaut is?”

Meanwhile, I can’t even get a signal in my Living Room

Ad Astra? Looks like the pod and the suit Brad Pitt uses at one point…

Hard to get any depth perception here. The rocket looks too small for Lio.

Lio asked HAL to leave a comment:

“I’m sorry Lio, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

Douglas Rain lives on!

“Already took a ride, Dad. Will explain when I get home….”

Great 2001 Easter egg. Love it.

They have cell reception on the moon? I need a phone like that

Nice to know he can receive a text from that far a distance
