Hopefully the shitters work.
What about universal healthcare instead of moon missions.
Sometimes I regret that if I had been more of a motivated person in my younger years, I could be in space.
But also, I know that given my physical state and brain damage and such, it was a dead dream as soon as my first stroke happened, two days after birth.
Still, a woman can dream.

Guessing based on your writing abilities things turned out in (yes, a different, but) pretty damn decent way
I’m much more proficient these days with my second language than my first, poetic even, but I do still take my time going down the wrong side of stairs, with the rail and my cane to support my movement.
For this and many more reasons, every day I live is a frozen revenge in a boiling summer served to fascists.
Still, a woman can dream.
Republicans are trying very hard to change that, alas.
Also, fuck Republicans.

whew. i’ve rolled the dice on my life, but i’ve never gotten on a boeing spacecraft. and the shitter’s already clogged.
SLS is mostly designed by Lockeed-Martin and NASA SRC. Boeing was a private contractor too though. This is also the first space toilet we’ve put in a spacecraft and exactly why we’re doing this test flight.
You’re thinking of Starliner. This is SLS (Space Launch System).
Right, my mistake. Shitter is clogged tho. Seriously. I know how to design a clogproof shitter (you need a mashing stick) and look what they did.
Space toilets are complicated. They don’t have gravity assisting the flush. You’d be surprised how even simple stuff we take for granted on Earth is complex when you take away gravity.
They went to hide the Epstein files on the far side of the Moon.
In 1969, the cold war filled the hearts of the world with dread. Today, we live in times that echo this sentiment.
The launch of 1969 was made with the hope of a better future, and though we cocked it up a drainpipe the first time, maybe we’ll take the right path and echo the sentiment “for all mankind”.
This seems like a pretty big deal, why am I only now finding out about this
I caught it through NPR maybe a couple weeks before it happened, and some science YouTubers were hype about it, but other than that I caught very little coverage. Not a lot mentioned on here that I saw til the day of or the day before. Not that it wasn’t talked about here before that, but just what I noticed.
I don’t know, we need to do a better job of advertising this stuff if a lot of people don’t know about it. This is one of the few decent things the U.S. is doing.
Hell yeah! Let’s go!
You’re too late, they already left.
Not again!
KEVIN!
Soon we will be able to sing again “Whitey’s on the moon”
God speed!
(As an atheist, and just thankful despite Elon and Trump’s best efforts)
I’m glad there is diversity and Canadian representation, btw!
What scientific benefits will this mission bring?
No idea but it is cool though.
Trump said they’re going further than we’ve ever gone before! Checkmate Apollo moon landing believers!
They go in search of human rights
I saw this from my front porch yesterday. Nothing like it. Godspeed.
Had the live stream on all day, I jumped up when the clock hit T-0 yelling “fly girl FLY!” Most powerful rocket NASA has launched, I definitely teared up. We need more of this. The possibilities to show what good humanity can do.
What good does colonizing the moon do? Genuinely curious.
it must be one thing to experience living near an airport. then it must be another thing to experience living near a rocket launchpad
most elaborate April fools joke this year
Yeah, a little over the top in my opinion. More money than I’m willing to spend on a prank.
I was honestly considering that, even though it would have been strnge for AP. I opened the article and the latest update was about some toilet issue
If they can fake the moon landing they can fake a launch.
If they can fake launch, can they fake dienner, too?
I don’t know what that is but I believe in them.
I don’t know you, but if you’re anything like my dog, you must think I’m awesome! Which I appreciate, but I question your judgement.
Bearing in mind that explaining jokes ruins them, “launch” can be pretend-read as a mispelling of “lunch”, so I mispelled “dinner” to make a stupid joke.
This is a terrible joke, and I love it.
