What makes kittens so cute? What makes baby bunnies so sweet? The answer is “little astronauts”. Each day, the little astronauts replace the least adorable proteins with a new sequence that’s twice as snuggly. But the work is dangerous and many little astronauts are lost on a regular basis.

There comes a day when the last little astronaut simply can’t do the work alone, and then the proteins are left on their own, to decay naturally over time. Not immediately, but inevitably, for like all things, cute is a finite resource.

But hail to you, brave little astronauts! For without you, there would be no kittens, no bunnies, no fuzzy little ducks or puppies! You will not be forgotten, little astronauts. You will not be forgotten.

This shirt was designed by: tgentry. Are you on staff now, dude? It seems like we type your name every week. The paint is wearing off our “t” key.

Wear this shirt: when you rent “Gattaca”.

Don’t wear this shirt: if you’re the sort of person who only cares about the big picture.

This shirt tells the world: “Everything you need to create a new shirt is contained in a single thread.”

We call this color: Navy Blue Is A Color That Has Not Had Good Luck When It Comes To Being Covered In DNA
