“NASA is looking better than it has in decades.”

So, you have no worries about being redirected back to their primary task of muslim outreach? No concern that they’ll dump white males and hire trannies and queers and whatever other protected group? Group membership > competence.

And not a thought to likely coming budget cuts?

Well, good luck with that.

There is a small piece of the fabric from the wing of the airplane that flew at Kitty Hawk by the Wright brothers.


You might be interested to know that the last history book I taught Jr. High kids from, maybe 10 years ago, didn’t have the Wright Brothers in the glossary. It did include a photo of the Flyer, but didn’t really tell the Wrights’ story nor give them credit for the first airplane.

Happily, the history book did include the woman who started the first kindergarten class in Los Angeles.

How is it going to outreach to muslims, especially Iran, from way up there? It doesn’t look like it could carry much of a bomb.

They are already losing focus under Biden*. They announced today that employees are encouraged to “volunteer” to go to the border to take care of illegals.

My son works at NASA but for a contractor. Since he’s technically private sector he doesn’t get to be told to go take care of the hordes of invaders.

I’m sure he’ll be wide awake at 3:30 am watching

You are not making much sense. You talk like Obama is still president. He hasn't been president since January 2017.
Right now, NASA is all set to go back to the moon in another couple of years only with much better technology and this time to establish a permanent base. No country has ever done that. We haven't even talked about Mars yet.
What planet are you living on?

“What planet are you living on?”

I’m in realville, and clearly not on the same planet as you. If you couldn’t understand my post, then we have nothing to discuss.

You act like Trump is still president, and excellence is encouraged. Biden is president, he’s retarded, and Obama is one of the true decision makers. Can you understand that?

Like I said, good luck with cheering on NASA. I’ll stop now.

You are living in far left fantasyland.
The Obama “outreach to Islamic fanatics” was ended by President Trump long ago. In fact Trump's presidency was great for NASA who racked up some impressive achievements under President Trump.

You just know that when future travelers find it they
will be puzzled why that scrap of fabric is there.

Why? What purpose does it serve...???

Um, nope. I act like NASA has made great progress in the last 4 years and is set to moreover achieve what no other country has even come close to doing before in the coming years.

It took Øbowel a couple years before he neutered NASA.

Give Bidet* time, his directions will be coming soon.

Actually Dementia Joe has committed to the moon landing and pretty much everything else that NASA is working on.
Look it up
