In an apparent coincidence, a returning SpaceX Starship booster has overshot its landing spot by more than 2,500 miles, landing instead on Nancy Pelosi’s summer home in Northern California.
The Pelosi family was not present, but their home has been declared a total loss.
“Oh no, how terrible,” whispered SpaceX flight coordinator Jason Gallart, sipping from a glass of champagne between questions from reporters.
The “little mishap” was actually Google’s fault, explained Gallart. SpaceX computers glitched when guiding the booster to its intended landing spot in the Gulf of Mexico at the very moment Google officially changed the name to Gulf of America.
In the Oval Office, President Trump said, “This accident was entirely avoidable. If the Gulf had been properly named back in the 1600s, this would never have happened.”
