i’ll see your space australians and raise you: space eastern europeans.
- like space australians, but comically deadpan
- ‘there was a critical systems failure and now we’re dead in space! we need to evacu–’ *chief engineer antonov thumps control panel with fist* ‘oh, we’re. we’re okay.’
- someone has either pickled a vegetable or distilled alcohol in a container that was intended for neither, in zero gravity
- there’s a little old lady on this crew. nobody knows why. nobody suspects she’s the head of an espionage network either
- *exasperated muttering over comms line during repair eva* ‘what’s that?’ ‘i said this thing has ‘made in usa’ written on it and no fucking wonder *deliberately heavy accent* exkyooz my language’
- improvised electrical device breaks safety regulations in 72 systems. ‘what? it woks.’
- somebody is talking about The Revolution. ‘andrei please that was 2723 years ago’ ‘my father fought in it’
- ‘here’s a good one: is it possible to introduce communism in the frozen world of OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb?’ confused alien: ‘i don’t know?’ ‘in principle yes, but after the first five year plan they would have to import ice’
- the trabant, but now it’s a space ship

from /r/vexillologyTop comment: This might be my favorite of all the earth flags. I like how you depicted the four pointed sun and as well as the asymmetry of the moon being in the upper right.
