    This whole post seems like bait for drawing out nationalists.

    It utterly ignores the vast, vast spectrum of space exploration and discoveries that many other nations have contributed, as well as the US’s ongoing progress towards a permanent space presence after the USSR collapsed. And all it, from the advancements of Russia in the 60’s and 70’s up through today to India and China and ESA exploring our solar system as the US collapses er, scales back from the frontier of science and exploration. It’s all worth celebrating and being glad happened in our lives so we get to see amazing sights and learn amazing things about our local space neighborhood.

    If you take pride in shit you didn’t personally do and feel others are inferior for not achieving your own measure of success, you’re setting yourself up for being a mindless chud and girls will never touch your weewee.

        Yeah, it is cool. And the bait part actively hurts what should be cool science info.

          Considering the downward spiral of science in America, it should hurt just a little bit I think.

          Edit: especially considering we have not been back to the moon since the early 1970’s even though we’ve had the capability this entire time. We’re only just now planning to send people back to the moon. And even that has taken teeth pulling effort to get the ball rolling. And I’m becoming quite doubtful it’ll actually happen because of who’s in charge of our government at the moment and the people who back them.
