are stuck with an idiot, ignorant, corrupt president who is dividing the country. Seriously damaging our leadership place in the world aided and enabled by a political party of the same immoral caliber. A president who wants to bring coal back and build beautiful walls.
what is next, horse and carriages and new technologies called telegrams.

on Mars!

Other nations can explore space.

The bigger concern is Drumpf ending the Space Station.

I heard that the aliens on the small side are trying to immigrate to the large side.

$50 says that, if Rump tells his base that, all of them will agree and demand we build a wall. Another $50 says the GOP Senate will also agree it's the best use of our taxpayers' money.

of a Kuiper Belt Object 4 billion miles from here, we have 2 probes that have left the solar system and still transmit info, we placed a probe around the sun the closest a man made object has ever been to the sun. All worlds first. Then research the Ranger program of probes to the moon. Some not so great some pretty good for the technology then.

Now I’ll agree with you about the jackass in the White House but don’t discount NASA’s achievements.
