“Survey says…?”
… a sampling of some of the best ZH comments on article about tomorrow’s launch …
“How about we use this money to fund more oil refineries, improve our electric grid, lower taxes, or anything else that would help everyday Americans.”
“I was thinking we had this s _ _ t all figured out nearly 60 years ago using slide rules.”
“It’s a damn shame no one wrote down the how to directions from the 60’s.”
“Who have they chosen to direct this film?”
“$4-5 billion dollars for a mission whose primary goal is to create photo ops for DEI.”
“SpaceX is the new money-laundering scheme.”
“What, no drag queen piloting the mission?”
“The good news is we appear to be replicating the 1960’s! When does the Vietnam War start again?”
“With all the issues they need to worry about, I sure hope they remembered to clean the lint trap so the laundry room doesnt catch on fire.”
Interestingly I happened upon a video of Hoagland in archive.org from 1994 of a talk he did at Ohio State University about the structures on Mars and the Moon. He referenced a change in the original NASA charter in 1958 regarding the commitment to sharing all information with the public and other countries. A committee of prominent folks from various disciplines was convened by the Brookings Institution as how to handle the discovery of any ancient ruins should they be found. The consensus was that information was to not be shared and denied as it would result in the destruction of civilization so a change in transparency was added in 1961. I suppose the long held history narratives would be destroyed with calamitous results…perhaps the bumbling attempts at space exploration is a cover to avoid the situation of discovery and disclosure.
