But people keep calling Isaacman "Isaacson", so a more likely mix-up would be Elon Musk's biographer, Walter!

(People including, I think, multiple senators at the nomination hearing. And even Robert Zubrin recently.)

even Robert Zubrin

For those who don't know, Zubrin is the gentle & touchy-feely author of joyfully uplifting & empowering self-help books, who also talks about Mars sometimes.

Not but seriously. All those people who SAY they consume (and understand!) science-fiction and then they go and STILL insist on THEIR country needing to be the first and best and only one and most at being in space. That's not how you Federation. Fuck.

That’s not how you Federation.

Depends whether the only other two countries to ever achieve human spaceflight are: a single-party state (proto-Borg?), and a gangster nation that occasionally tries to take over a neighbouring nation and steal its children (part Romulan?).
