The Vatican yesterday launched an enormous incense fuelled Abraham class rocket from St. Peter's Basilica. The rocket was carrying a Mars Orbiter and Pope Rover.
Surprising hundreds of thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square, the dome of the Basilica opened like the jaws of a colossal whale and the rocket emerged from the hitherto secret launch chamber.
The Rover will be powered by a Myrrh and Frankincense flux capacitor instead of the sun which is thought to have Pagan origins.
The project's purpose is to convert everything to Catholicism and encourage the "Missionary Position" before any of the multitude of planned Rovers start getting out of hand and the crews become sinful.
The Pope will not be personally driving the Rover but specially trained Cardinals and Space Bishops will do the pioneering missionary work and build additional Rovers and Cathedrals.
