Time chose you. God chose you. Don’t forget that we are your home now. No harm will come to you. We are watching over you. Time is always with you. Wherever you go. You carry it in you. And it carries you. It sees and hears everything that you do and say.

Back during the Charlie Sheen meltdown days, the NASA tumblr fandom posted a bunch of “NASA Sheenisms,” aka Charlie Sheen quotes superimposed upon astronaut photos. This was one of my contributions.
