NASA and the Navajo

 

Whilst NASA were preparing for their latest Apollo project, the American space authority decide to train their astronauts in the reservation of the Indian Navajo in Arizona. One day, an elderly Najavo who is accompanied by his son bumps into the crew that is training in the Indian reserve. The old man, who speaks only the language of the Navajo asks them a question, his son translates it into English “what are these strange men doing in these strange clothes?â€

 

One of the astronauts replies, saying that they are going to on a trip to the moon. When the son translates the answer, the old man becomes a little excited and asks one of the astronauts if he could take a message for him to the moon. One of the NASA officials present sees this as an opportunity for the space officials to be presented in a positive light in the media and so agrees without a moment’s hesitation and orders someone to get a voice recorder.

 

The old man says very few words into the recorder and the NASA official asks the son of the red Indian to translate the message. The son listens to the msg and then bursts out laughing and refuses to translate it.

 

The NASA official decides to take the recorder to another Navajo village, he plays the msg to members of the tribe. The men also burst out in uncontrollable laughter and they too refused to translate the msg of the old man destined to the moon.

 

In the end, the msg was taken to an official government translator, who managed to translate the msg into English when he finally stopped laughing. The msg was “WATCH OUT FOR THESE BA$TARDS, THE’VE COME TO ROB YOUR LANDâ€
