      As government employees, they would instantly be fired by the toddler. Im guessing theyd love to ride a rocket again.

        Worth it. They already achieved their objective. They could’ve made a powerful statement by denying a debriefing meetup with the fascist. At all costs.

          The #1 goal of this mission is to secure NASA funding for the missions to continue, #2 was systems testing. They are continuing with their mission as best they understand it. A statement against fascism from them keeps us in low earth orbit

                What we really need is for China to send someone to Mars first, and suddenly 3% of GDP will be ploughed into NASA’s budget overnight.

                This administration has been actively hostile to space exploration. The only support is for moon to mars, because that fulfills billionaire sexual fantasies of ruling over Martian empires.

                Projects like asteroid and Kuiper Belt exploration have been absolutely slaughtered. NASA has been cutting education and basically everything not directly connected to long term plans for Martian colonization. It’s also been cut up for parts and sold off to the highest bidder.

          They would look like defiant heroes for five minutes. Trump does some stunt to distract from it.

          Nothing changes, but three very talented people throw away their careers they have worked hard on for decades.

          Two years later Trump leaves office either way.

      “Supposing you brought UV light into the body which you can either do through the skin or, uh, in some other way”

      “And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting.”

      “And then I see the disinfectant knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside,”

    Imagine studying and training for years to be a freaking astronaut just to have to listen to this orange pedophile whine about himself. The restrain I’d need to not just sucker punch the motherfucker live and walk away…

    I’m guessing 45 minutes of pedonald rambling about how some say he practically invented space travel, that he deserves a Nobel prize in spaceship, and that he’s such a genius that he could have been an astronaut but chose to be rapist instead.

      Gold is a complimentary color for blue, which those jackets are basically exploding with. Pretty natural pick.

      Blue and gold are also navy colors, so it might just be nod to that if either was in the navy.

    I can picture them trying to get the furthest spot away from the old stinker. Same way they fought about the farthest corner of their spacecraft from Earth.
