...lander that resembles the familiar spindly lunar module. The new lander could carry three or more crew members down to the surface and drive them around the lunar landscape, doubling as a sort of extraterrestrial pickup truck. Crews would live for up to 180 days at a time in trailer-like pressurized modules similar to those used aboard the International Space Station. "We're looking at something that can grow without a lot of redesign," says Doug Cooke, leader of the NASA study group that developed the plan...
Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny FUTURE UNCERTAIN You can break this one down mathematically. 75 percent of it is absolutely wonderful, playing upon humanity’s unconscious trust of movie-trailer-narration voices with gaspingly hilarious results. But the actual clips from the movie, which comprise the other 25 percent, are awful. Hey, Jack Black fell onto his nuts! And now he’s taking a poo in a toilet!

Then came a trailer in, of all languages, German (subtitled in English): a guttural voice observing that in the U.S. 10,000 people are killed each year, most of them by guns. "Americans...
...cheer. Patton Oswalt—the funniest stand-up comedian in America—saw a preview screening of this and said that he made the projectionist stop midway through because he was laughing too hard. I don’t actually laugh at the trailer, I just marvel at it. It makes you forget about the inevitable pain that you’ll feel when you have to sit through the build-ups to the punchlines in the interviews. Just enough to entice, not so much as to disgust. Just like the full-body Speedo that Borat wears...
