Space Puns!

A page of space puns and related humor.

In space no one can hear you scream.

Well of course not.  It's miles away.

Joking apart and, yes that was a joke, space is very big.  This page is a bit smaller. 

Into the vacuum will come a selection of puns, jokes, expressions and general stuff about the galaxy and the area beyond that.

There will be mention of popular culture such as Star Trek and some less popular science things like methane.

​Let's do some puns.
