Buh-bye moon base.
Seems like the only thing that America can do right anymore is blow things up.

So true, and from soup to nuts: Relationships, treaties, rockets, countries, health and safety protocols, airplanes, people, legal mores, chemical plants, principles, careers.
Amerikkka has become a cheap rundown theater showing a really bad movie and we're unable to walk out.

Gee I wonder what happened? Was it DEI or open borders or acceptance of criminal behavior? All three?

Trump stole the election and republicans put fear of losing reelection ahead of what's best for America.

^ Oh I see. Everything was fine before that. Korea and Viet Nam and inflation and gas crisis, all that, everything else, was all the fault of 45/47 admins.

Korea? Vietnam??
The wars?
And people wonder why it's so difficult to communicate with Trump supporters.

All you need is a passport and a one-way airline ticket. If you can afford that, no one is stopping you from walking out.

I wonder what NASA could have done with the money squandered on fElon and Bezos' vanity projects?

They could have given it to Israel so they could kill more innocent people.

They would have likely given it to Boeing or Grumman instead.

Good ting it was an engine firing test.

I have an idea.
It's probably dumb because hey these guys are geniuses and surely they would have thunk it already.
Test the engines that might blow up catastrophically far far away from the launch pad. So if something like this happens you still have a launch pad.
But I'm not a genius so.. carry on.

China is a already doing that. Of course, like you and I, they are also probably dumb. If they were smart, like Donald Trump or Christopher Langan or even Fredo Corleone, they would take their scientific advancements, flush 'em down the shitter and instead involve themselves in forever wars on behalf of a shitty little country the size of New Jersey.
I think an American moon base is still doable, just as long as it is located somewhere on Earth-- perhaps in Gaza, Venezuela or Cuba. In the same vein, I think a colony on The Red Planet is also a distinct possibility-- by declaring in a 3 AM post on Truth Social that Greenland will henceforth be known as Mars would be a good start. Of course we could just bomb it. What has Mars ever done for us anyway? Fucking commie planet.
