I think a live flowering plant in a pot is a better gift than cut flowers, even if it’s going to die. Probably the most enthusiastic response I ever got was over the gift of a cactus.

Shouldn’t you be serving breakfast before posting on social media?! Geez. Some humans. I swear.

Buy the sidewalk and charge rent to stand in line.

I know this is the correct answer; but in my mind circus, it’s a business in a hyperinflationary world. People are banging on the doors begging to hand over stacks of cash, but the business won’t let them in. The value of their assets is increasing more quickly than real wages by an order of magnitude. So they just say, “No customer” and watch number go up anyway.

No apology necessary. What you said is exactly what Trump was trying to do. I believe turning NASA into an air circus is exactly the plan. I hope that plan fails.

Yeah, usually the Lizard people select world leaders from different clutches of eggs to ensure maximum competition and division among the human nations under them. Due to a malfunction in one of the incubators, Nixon’s egg hatched about seven years after Brezhnevs. During that time the same incubator hatched a separate clutch, among which Nixon was counted, which is why he was allowed to become the US president. Having not grown up together, they were still competitive, but little moments like the moon landing concession still occurred from time to time. Now that might sound unconvincing, but that’s only because I’m not an actual conspiracy theorist. I don’t have access to the deep lore and twisted logic therein.

Don’t get me wrong. I still haven’t found a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than the GOP. It’s more likely that Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Airbus, et. al. reminded then who’s writing the checks to PACs.

The Artemis program infrastructure is mostly stuff advanced by Obama and Biden era Congresses and Administrations.

The loop is a well precedented procedure for testing components that have not been used for a mission before. They did the same for the Apollo program.

No joke. If I ever tour a Lockheed Martin facility, I’ll make sure to use the bathroom before I go.

Don’t even get me started. The worst part is that if the writers call for a disaster episode, they have to actually kill the actors, like in Apollo one. In all seriousness, the hoax conspiracy is especially unhinged, even as conspiracy theories go.

Exactly, and the so-called “exhaust” is just a fog machine and light effects.

He’ll definitely take credit, but he also tried to cut the budget for NASA. Congress insisted.

Yeah, that magnet looks pretty strong. I could see the struggle to remove the disk ruining someone’s day.

Sometimes I think about how there’s probably not life at this scale for very many light years in every direction.

I’m not actually superstitious, but if I wrote a fantasy about this idea, it would be that The Garden of Eden was prophetic rather than historical or legendary/mythological. I really hope we don’t get kicked out of Earth for eating all it’s fruit and cast into a galaxy of relative hardship (or worse).

Anyway, I’m going to go touch some grass, pet a dog, and feel gratitude for the experience.

Yeah, that one was pretty tricky. Looking at the picture upside down helped a lot.

No problem. I’m glad you had a good time!

Why is the red circle never there when you actually need it? I still found him though.

I think I just hurt myself in my confusion.

Upvoted there, too!
