Also 82.5% of statistics are made up.
I hope the called it The Stars: My Frustration.
Possibly it’s like those puzzle books in Mercury Rising.
If you colour in the whole book, the NSA swoops because clearly you’ve got inhuman levels of patience and hand-eye coordination and need to be taken into custody for National Security reasons asap.
“Open the pencil case please, HAL.”
“I’m afraid I can’t let you shade that, Dave.”
“I need to go outside the lines, HAL.”
Without color it reminds me of a textured ceiling tile.
More like, “I need to go potty, HAL…I can’t feel my fingers HAL.”
I’d love to see someone at Coloring Book Corruptions try to do something with this.
What is the name of the book?
A lot of NASA coloring books are available on this page: https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/hqlibrary/ic/coloringbooks.html

…I’ve only done about half of my colouring book… It must be an orientation thing…Fetish Coloring Book
Even a child isn’t going to sit there and color all the negative space in black. Like most kids I’ve witnessed with coloring books, they are going to have fun with it and to hell with what it’s supposed to look like. So we could get some really nice abstract impressionism out of this,.
Crayola doesn’t have a “Stain on Humanity” shade.
