Kemp 005: Exploring Eupheme

(This is part of a "Captain Kemp" series I am doing for fun. )

Captain Kemp tells some pretty bad jokes. When we landed on Eupheme, a small moon orbiting Jupiter, he went on a roll.

Eupheme orbits in the opposite direction of Jupiter's rotation. It's called a retrograde orbit. So Kemp went kinda retrograde himself.

Here are some gems from the voice log.  The "CDR" entries are for the commander (Kemp).  The "PLT" entries are for the pilot (me).

CDR_83472092: "That reminds me. Why do scuba divers fall backwards out of the boat?"
PLT_83472093: "Why?
CDR_83472094: "Because if they fell forward, they'd still be in the boat."

PLT_83472146: "What?"
CDR_83472147: "You get you wife back, your truck back, your dog back."

CDR_83472207: "I designed a Mars rover. It was pretty good, but it couldn't go backwards."
PLT_83472208: "I guess you're not any good at reverse engineering."
CDR_83472209: "Ha! Now you're beating me to the punchline."
