NASA, Let’s Give It Another Shot

I’m sorry I dumped you for a Virgin. They seemed so exciting at the time, but now I know the truth. I need a more experienced partner. Since we broke up, I’ve done a lot of thinking. I realize now that I focused on all the negative things, and I ignored all the positive contributions you brought to our relationships.
Remember memory foam? Or how I used to scratch my glasses all the time before you came along and fixed them? Well, I still sleep on our pillow together and I still use the water filter you graciously left behind.
And after we split, when I sat on my couch alone and bitterly laughed at the thought of you running out of ideas, you literally reinvented the rocket engine, which in turn, reinvented the firefighter hose. I realized then that I was a fool.
Golly, that new rocket engine is neat!
I got too comfortable in our relationship (like those shoes you made me) and I lost sight of the big picture. By investing time and money in you, NASA, I know you’ll always pay me back a hundred-fold.
And to think that I complained about you being too high-maintenance! You don’t even cost one percent of my annual budget. More than five times less than I spend on cigarettes, and look at all you’ve given me!
What a fool I’ve been. NASA, will you take me back?
