There's going to be total shock in the US in a few years when the first woman on the moon is Chinese.

I mean there will be total shock in the US in like 4-5 years when the ILRS begins construction and finishes by 2035 & suddenly China, Russia, and Venezuela (plus 9 other countries including South Africa billionaire-tears and Pakistan) have a moon base meanwhile NASA/ESA/JAXA and the US will still be huffing copium about SLS & Artemis.

Fun fact - SLS has had a single fucking launch, which was planned for 2016 and didn't even actually launch until 2022. The first actually crewed launch won't happen until 2026 and that's assuming it isn't delayed. Artemis III, which is planned for like 2027/2028 will be the actual first crewed lunar landing since 1972 (and it hinges on SpaceX being able to deliver upon a lunar lander that they will also have to launch into lunar orbit prior to Artemis III so...) provided China doesn't beat them to it, which....is likely lmao

Itll also be a nice juxtaposition that Chinas sharing their moon base with so many nations while the US is scrapping the ISS.

Lol. I do not want to be on the space x lunar lander

Rest assured I don't think it is in the cards for ANYONE to be on the Starship HLS if only because it doesn't fucking exist in any aspect as of writing this. See the following image

It gets immediately leaked that it was fake because they outsource it to a production company in Belarus.

Counter lathe: In a few years, the USA officially adopts the flat Earth theory, says the moon is a hologram and that the first moon landing was fake

By the power of fascist irrationalism and caprice, we may have both within the same week

They get Zack Snyder to do it and it gets found out because it's in black and white slow motion and set to Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

melon-musk probably would hire Zack Snyder to fake a Mars landing

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

...again?

kidding...I think.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

of course "again," you think the first one actually landed on the hologram moon?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Who will direct it? Christopher Nolan?

Capricorn One (1977)

It will be faked by grok

Or maybe a Mars landing

Trump said he's wants to have yankkkees on Mars. It's probably a possibility lmfao

The footage will be obviously fake owing to there being zero consistency between shots and the astronauts sometimes having seven fingers, but it will be illegal to say so in public, and the internet will be awash with influencers feigning amazement at this great American accomplishment. Tom Scott will come back for one last gig to tell you that it is definitely real in return for a million pounds.

If Tom Scott has zero haters then i have sadly perished.

I just didn't like his vibes ngl, the constant "I'm not paid to be here therefore I'm impartial" when he's touring stuff that enjoys the free PR. I'm just a hater for the sake of it

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

fair enough

I hate him because of his takes on Linux

The US is going to bring back Project A119.
