Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.

Why would you want to throw Mx from an airlock? If you did it after
adjusting the orbit, he'd contribute to space junk after getting his
black belt in Internet Pest.

The airlock idea for storage is a good idea though. Don't do a bleed
to space, that would mess up the insides of the airlock as badly as
the insides of some microwave ovens.

Stardate 1369.000001

The starship Redundant has just come out of warp and is approaching
Fjukktard IV.

On the bridge...

Captain: Helmsman, assume a standard orbit around the planet.

Helmsman: Aye, Aye, sir.

(Sounds of engines adjusting)

Captain: Tactical! We're heading straight for the planet!
Have the inhabitants locked on to us with some sort of tractor beam?

Tactical: Negative sir, Helmsman Mxsamanic has put us on a collision
course with the planet.

Captain: Mr Mxsmanic, what the hell is going on?

Helmsman: Well, sir, you said assume an orbit and any object
following a ballistic trajectory (disregarding aerodynamic effects) is
in orbit, so I...

(Anything further from Mr Mxsmanic is unintelligible as the Captain
has both hands firmly around his neck)

Captain: Navigator, take the helm and put us in a real orbit! Security,
throw Mr Mxsmanic out off the nearest airlock!
