The engineering lookalike approached Elon and the commander.
“The spaceship is ready for liftoff,” it said.
Elon nodded and turned to the commanding lookalike.
“This is the last we will ever see of each other,” he said.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy.

He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
