WEVE TRIPLE- CHECKED ALL SYSTEMS, AND WE ARE READY TO LAUNCH THE SATELLITE.

NOTHING CAN GO WRONG.

INITIATING LAUNCH.

NOTHING CAN GO WRONG?

WHAT IF AN ALIEN SPACESHIP APPEARS OVER THE LAUNCH SITE?

GAAA!!!

DON'T JINX US.

THAT'S NOT HOW REALITY WORKS. I CAN'T MAKE THINGS HAPPEN JUST BY SUGGESTING THEM.

YOU'RE WRONG!

THAT IS EXACTLY HOW REALITY WORKS!

SOMETHING JUST APPEARED ON RADAR DIRECTLY ABOVE THE ROCKET'S TRAJECTORY.

MAYBE IT'S A BIRD IT'S THE SIZE OF BELGIUM.
