NASA Shuttle Snaps SS Bakeshop Pics

NASA today released a photograph of the Space Station Bakeshop as the Shuttle Endeavor approached the Station. Endeavor was returning from a resupply mission to the Internation Space Station Alpha when their orbit chanced to cross that of the Bakeshop. The happy inhabitants of the Space Station Bakeshop invited the Shuttle crew aboard for a little in-orbit R&R (or "Changes in Altitude/Changes in Attitude" as put by Captain Boo of the Bakeshop). Unfortunately, an incompatibility between the docking port on the Shuttle and that of the Bakeshop dashed the hopes of the Shuttle crew. Captain Andrews of the Endeavor commented: "We could hear Radio Margaritaville playing in the background when they called with the invitation. We could see happy Parrotheads through the portholes. HECK, we could even see the JUMBO MARGARITAS!!!"

NASA engineers have promised to redesign the docking port on the Shuttle immediately to avoid future disappointments to our Shuttle astronauts.
