'Congress, fund this!' NASA follows triumphant Pluto fly-by with multiple 'Sharknado 3' tie-ins

With Syfy’s “Sharknado 3” sitting comfortably atop Twitter’s list of trending topics as expected, it was inevitable that every brand manager and TV meteorologist would be hard at work trying to play off the publicity somehow.

#Sharknado3 is ready to hit the east coast! Are you ready? Be safe out there! http://t.co/uQZY6kvMbU

Speaking of NASA, those close-ups of Pluto were pretty cool, but what do they do now that they’ve run out of solar system? Lots of Sharknado-related things, it turns out.
