In the early stages of spaceflight, NASA developed a technique that saved much needed fuel to return space craft back to Earth by using the moon’s orbit like a slingshot. Astronauts in space and ground control would lose radio signal once the space craft makes its way to the “back-side” of the moon and away from line of sight with Earth. They would of course regain radio signal when they reach the other side of the moon (the “flip side”). It was customary for Ground Control to say “Catch you on the flip side” before they would lose radio signal.
The none-space working-class community adapted the phrase as a “good-bye” or “see you later.”

(I’m about to lose contact with you. Time will pass. I’ve re-established contact.)
With that being said: “I’ll catch you on the flip side!”

Get the flip mug.Some of the sexiest shoes a girl can wear, second only to heels. Designed to make a girl's foot look even hotter than it already is. Makes an irresistable sound when slapping against the bottom of the foot. Almost like being barefoot, yet provides minimal protection to the sole of the wearer. Fun to dangle off the toes (and most chicks do)!
