A meme containing a purported quote from astronaut Barry Wilmore about an eerie incident at the international space station frequently appears on social media: This was not a real Barry Wilmore quote. This fictional phrasing originated in an article published by Clickhole, a spin-off of the well-known satire site The Onion. The piece contained a list of fake quotes from astronauts. The fictional quote from Charles Duke, for instance, explained that being in space felt like being a potato: Imagine your body as a potato. Now, imagine no gravity acting on that potato, and bingo: That’s what space feels like. None of these quotes was genuine. A disclaimer at the bottom of the site notes that content published on Clickhole is satirical in nature: Not only is this Barry Wilmore quote a fabricated one, but the astronaut also never flew to space with a man named Ramirez.
