fish-trap

🐟🪤 nasa sounds like NASA, which would trap fish with a net instead of rockets

Spanish nasa is a fish-trap or weir. Link it to the English-sounding NASA: this NASA does not launch rockets, it sets a basket across a stream and catches fish. Same spelling, different job: trapping, not launching.
