Exclusive: Jack Superblack's Thoughts on the Pointlessness of Liftoff

Photography of a liftoff, dark humor undertones, with despairing artist watching his sculptures aboard a rocket, moon in the background, vibrant colors, dynamic composition.

Humor meets existential dread as Jack Superblack contemplates SpaceX's artsy moon mission and our cosmic insignificance.

Ever wake up and think, "Why do I bother getting out of bed?" Well, folks, as Jeff Koons and his mini moon sculptures skyrocketed into space, courtesy of our beloved SpaceX, I lounged back in my creaky office chair pondering the same darn thing. Here I am, Jack Superblack, chuckling at the absurdity, questioning the meaning of life, and writing to you about shiny things going to a lifeless wasteland.

SpaceX, the dream dealer, set out to fulfill humanity's artsy aspirations with a week-long trip to the moon for Mr. Koons's shiny baubles. I bet the little buggers can't wait to escape the gravity of our trivial Earth scandals. And here, I thought my Tupperware party on Mars idea was nutty.

Fact: Koons has been hitching his artistic wagon to far-fetched dreams since the Kennedy era—a man with a plan or just fond of long-winded speeches? Flip a coin. Sooner or later, all grand ideas either shoot for the stars or remain grounded, festering like my forgotten jogger plants.

The hitch? Space isn’t friendly to human sentiment, much less stainless steel trinkets. After a methane hiccup, the liftoff seemed almost as delayed as my decision to get that psychology degree. At least in the vast void, no one can hear me scream about my impending, solitary demise.

Haha, just kidding... unless?

As we speak, NASA's gear is cozying up to Koons’s sculptures in a no-doubt cramped lunar lander. How intimate—and utterly pointless. Because whether it's art or actual humans, we're all just stardust with delusions of grandeur, right?

In closing, remember, it's all about the journey, not the destination—especially when you’re dead inside and your greatest company could very well be a space-faring sculpture. Now, how's that for a morbid punchline?
