After years of dashed hopes and broken promises, NASA finally made good on their word and took Mark E. Smith up for a spin in that anti-gravity plane they use to train astronauts. Watch the unbridled joy as he floats in perfect freedom like a newborn seal pup twirling in its ocean home. Apparently the experience took so much out of him he needed a wheelchair for the press conference afterward and his usual frog-scowl collapsed into a crumpled paper bag with a goiter, but we’re sure he’ll be back up and at ’em faster than you can say something mumbly. Congrats, Mark!
