The Space Shuttle was impounded late last week when the pilot was seen swerving through an asteroid field by police officer Joe Gibson. “Office Gibson noticed the Shuttle swerving erratically from a few miles away”, said Police spokesman William Hirsch. “The Shuttle appeared to be moving with a great deal of speed and added to the swerving, it was the officer’s prerogative to make the stop.”

“When I made got the Shuttle stopped, it was plainly evident that the driver and most passengers had been drinking”, wrote Officer Gibson. “The smell of martian whiskey was very strong”.

The crew members spent the weekend in solitary confinement and were bailed out by NASA early this morning. We can only assume that one of the crew quoted that famous line again.

“Ah, Houston, we have a problem.”
