This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why this wouldn't work:
"Okay honey, we'll watch the launch!"
I wonder how hard it would be to fake a 'ship' being towed from the rough area where you boarded, and put on a real rocket. How many people would still argue it wasn't real when they saw the launch of a rocket that could reach a few dozen miles up? Sure, some would have the technical knowledge to look at the rocket and know it wouldn't be enough.
Hide the true numbers off people boarding, and thus you can fake the 'ship' being super small, and it could work on the unknowledgeable viewer who is placed several miles away.
