Secretary of science reveals fake certifications

Every astronaut at Terra-Luna got certified at the same school. The school is a P.O. box.

A training certificate. The gold seal is a sticker.

The Secretary of Science held a press conference on Wednesday. She held up a certificate. She held up the envelope it came in. Then she held up a photo of the "Academy of Advanced Spaceflight," which is a mailbox outside a laundromat.

Every astronaut Terra-Luna has trained in the last two years went through the Academy. Every one of those certifications is now void.

They passed the test. The test was multiple choice. It was one question.

Terra-Luna's astronauts will need to go back through training. Real training. With a building.

We called the Academy. The laundromat picked up.
