Contrived "It's Hardly Rocket Science" Joke

Space Robot Frozen

A $200m (£100m) robot at the international space station was today paralysed and waiting for a software fix to reanimate it.

The Canadian robot, known as Dextre, is designed to help astronauts avoid difficult and dangerous spacewalks for repairs to the space station. But today it was immobile because of a problem getting power to its joints.

Poor show that they can't even get this to work.

It's hardly rocket science.

Do I win £40?

See, even robots can't function without a goodmorning splif

Robot's probably just found out about the Employees Right to Not Work Dangerous conditions in te Canada Labour code....

I build spaceships for a living.

I wish I had £40 every time someone cracked that 'joke'.

So your acronym is S.A.I.T.E. Is that with or without the Bull... in front of it!?

No, I believe you. I was just pointing out that a more suspicious sort might not.
