I get the meme and the juxtaposition is... depressing, but it's sad how people don't realize that this is an international mission - Jeremy Hansen is a Canadian, 1/2 of the capsule was built by the ESA, the DSN sites are in the US, Spain and Australia... This really isn't a singularly American affair, and it's rather bleak that we can erase all that cooperation because of this stupid fucking war.
The op is erasing the cooperation right now in picturing this as an US project.
To be fair, it primarily is a us financed affair.
Even if it's a big collaboration. I have trouble feeling good about it. It still feels like furthering US interests, which align less and less with mine
Us interested to... Enable space and low grav manufacturing as well as further space exploration and mining?
That won't happen and even if it does it will only benefit those who already have too much
The sense of shared achievement isn't there for me.
Edit: Trump said "The US can't be number 1 on Earth if they are number 2 in space."
Later when talking about the army he said they were looking forward to their next conquest.
I get it. It is a huge accomplishment by humans all over but likely will result in USMC on the moon at some point, we’re really into the whole imperialist thing
During the video call after the loop, Jeremy made an observation about how we’re all together on this rock and diversity is important, directly to the orange blob on the phone. That man is my new personal hero
Fuck you gonna do, fire me? I don’t work for NASA
