Alright listen up, buttercup. This "joke" is dark because it implies the kid has little to no chance of becoming an astronaut due to his advanced cancer. It's like saying, "Yeah, you can achieve your dreams, but only if you beat the unbeatable." Harsh, I know, but that's dark humor for ya. And judging by your search history, you're no stranger to dark stuff, are ya?
