"2025: during the great war against the gays and windfarms, the president successfully strikes a masterful blow to his enemies by closing the twitter account of a Mars robot"

2025: during the great war against the gays and windfarms,

21st century Don Quixote.

Striking at made-up enemies

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Still tilting at windmills.

The only robots you can have are the ones approving that questionable drug, sorry

Closing down Nazi-Shitter-accounts is a win, though?

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

Not if they continue using the Nazi propaganda machine.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Well - NASA is going down in budgets basically everywhere. Sadly, this is mostly self-inflicted. A lot of NASA personnel are lifelong republicans (MSFC)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Sure, if it continued communicating elsewhere. This is just going dark, right?

What, you expect people to read?! Smh

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

No, they are just consolidating down to a single twitter account so they can fire a communications person or two

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

That's better than it going away completely, at least.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Unfortunaly, but a popular shitter-account closing if NASA losing budgets is inevitable, that's still a tiny light in the dark.

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

They’re still using the Nazi rockets so not really.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Well yeah, it's NASA.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately that is indeed the far bigger problem.

Bad times for science with Trump

Okay which of you space nerds wants to be a hero? This handle is going up for grabs on any fediverse instance. All you have to do is pull the latest from whatever nazi sewer it gets thrown into these days and post it verbatim.

It's not impossible. You used to bulls-eye womp rats in your T-16 back home.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Why is nasa still using a Nazi website?

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Because the nazis bought the government that owns nasa

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

Because everyone does. NASA is apolitical, they just want science messaging to reach as many people as it can, which I agree with. Hell, if that meant posting on 4chan I'd agree with that lmao

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

I don't understand. They are stopping posting in one channel in favor of posting on another. It just seems like a cleanup in diverse accounts to make it easier to follow nasa. It would be great if they moved to mastodon or any non-nazi channels, but the change in the tweet doesn't look like much to me.

The budget for posting Curiosity updates has been transferred to some rich dudes wallet.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

They are gonna stip posting Curiosity specific updates to Twitter and fold it under the Mars umbrella account.

It's just indicating NASA is dealing with budget cuts. It takes away another outlet for people to see the good work they do
