Fifty words story with the word space in it

This is my offering for the fifty words writing challenge on space

If you don’t stop poking me in the eye I’m going to launch you into space.
Terribly sorry old chap, I thought you were someone else.
Really, and who would that be?
I thought you were an alien from outer space spying on me.
No such luck I’m afraid.
Drat.
