If it had continued we'd have had a manned mission to Mars (or further) by now because NASA and the Russian space program would've gotten hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars more in funding over the last few decades than what they've received. russia quit because they did not poach the nazi rocket genius first, a guy who was able to build a heavy lift moon rocket which is incredibly difficult - so difficult, it is a feat which has not yet been replicated the saturn V had five massive first stage engines. the N1 rocket had thirty first stage engines, and it was so hard to get them all to synch up that the rocket blew up all four times it was tested landing on the moon is hard as hell and it's kind of amazing we managed to pull it off (because we granted amnesty to a nazi who built rockets to kill civilians) ((yes i know nasa was also on point as a bureaucracy and really had their poo poo together in the 1960s much more so than the soviet space program))

lol, this dumbass was an actual chief justice of a state Supreme Court: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/12/roy-moores-last-gasp/549332/ quote:The complaint relies overwhelmingly on cherry-picked quotes in right-wing news outlets, such as one in which a Democratic organizer appears to have been overly excited about their efforts to turn out voters. Seven pages of supporting documents are simply print-outs of comments on Breitbart.com, and another several pages are screenshots of text messages from people claiming they were harassed or intimidated by Democratic groups.

They don't believe him, they only care that he makes the people whom they hate with the burning of a thousand black suns angry - angry as *they* were during Obama's administration. This includes the evangelicals, who silently hope that Trump's bumbling will bring about the Rapture/end of the world, so they can delight in watching the *sinners* who always ~persecuted~ them suffer in agony from their Heavenly perch.

On Terra Firma posted:The best part about this is that from I can gather Trump just ran into a reporter at a golf club and started talking to the guy with no senior staff around. He had the CEO of Newsmax with him and that was it. Just an hour and a half of total rambling without a handler. It's beautiful in its own way. There is no doubt in my mind Trump is 100% sure he can talk his way out of any trouble and if he gets put under oath as part of Mueller's investigation he will perjure himself with every sentence.

Absolutely, at this point the "more words equals more better" delusion is de rigueur for Trump, not surprising at all. But Carter Page on the other hand, he is the one who continually blows me away with this nonsense. Like, Trump's a uniquely sheltered narcissist who's going senile, what's your excuse?

After American sent a man to the moon they sent a remote-controlled robot to the moon which, while not nearly as flashy, was a feat of engineering of its own. They also grabbed some of the Nazi engineers and quite a bit of their research and documents. Both Space Programs were built on Nazi research. The Chinese and Indians are probably the ones least dependent on Nazi scientists, but they also benefited from the first generation programs which were all a few goose steps short of a Nuremberg rally. It is also possible that he is vaguely aware of his own memory problems and can't recall if he broke the law or not so is in a complete panic.

Landing people on Mars doesn't advance the state of the art of building rockets that can get nukes to Russia as fast as possible. Building a permanent base on the moon with silos would be a good deterrent. Developing fast, reliable suborbital transit would be, too.

We haven't talked for a long time now but his motto was "If there's no cops, there's no laws." This mostly had to deal with driving and speeding when there weren't any around but it really brings up the time he showed me some seriously questionable porn on his computer when I was around 15 asking me what I thought of it.

Fintilgin posted:Intellectually, I know the President of the United States is a vile, senile, narcissist, but sometimes it still hits me fresh and raw with a new wave of disbelief. All three of those traits are a ouroborus of failure that just feed back into each other. His narcissism protects him from revealing how loving terrified he is by projecting his completely unearned smug confidence, except his swiss cheese Alzheimer's brain can't keep up with how often he repeats himself, so his inner monologue of Mueller fear slips right past the worn out filters. His vile, crude mannerisms also force him to constantly insult Jeff Sessions for doing something everyone agreed was, at best, the minimum ethical requirement for an Attorney General that lies to Congress and is compromised by a loving hostile government. Trump was rather quiet when Sessions first recused himself, but exploded in his face after Mueller was appointed and has been trashing Jeff at every turn specifically and only for failing to shut down the investigation. Trump is such a horrid sack of poo poo but I never thought I'd get to read the President openly trashing his own AG for not jumping in front of a a hail of bullets to save him. The loving president posted:DONALD J. TRUMP: I thought it was a terrible thing he did. [Inaudible.] I thought it was certainly unnecessary, I thought it was a terrible thing. But I think it’s all worked out because frankly there is absolutely no collusion, that’s been proven by every Democrat is saying it.
