Puty In Space?

From USA Today:

“Russia has sent a humanoid robot to the International Space Station as part of tests on a new rocket that is expected to replace the current vehicle.

The Soyuz capsule, which typically carries a space crew, blasted off from the Russia-leased launch pad in Kazakhstan at 8:38 a.m. Thursday carrying the Fedor robot.

The capsule was launched by a new Soyuz 2.1a rocket that has been used only to launch unmanned vehicles.

The new booster rocket is expected to replace the Soyuz-FG rocket next year.

The robot, which was in the commander’s seat, holding a small Russian flag in its right hand, sent out a tweet shortly after the orbiting saying that the first part of onboard tests went as planned.”

Due to plummeting poll numbers Puty has opted to make a great escape.

The humanoid robot is really Putin; that was an easy to execute artifice since Puty has always been thought to be a Soviet robot.

Anyway, the rest of the story is that he will be sent back to earth on the next SpaceX shuttle that arrives at the station, and be returned to Phoenix to run for the Senate in Arizona and head up the re-elect donnie campaign in Arizona.

He has also been awarded a Lexus dealership.

When asked about this a man on the street in Yuma was captured on video saying that he had always thought Puty was governor of Arizona.
