Now I find myself missing those days.

Once "#nerdculture" (please don't ask me to define it) became "cool," everyone wanted a piece of it, especially the very people who mocked it (and us) a few years earlier.

Would #ElonMusk have gone into #EVs or #PrivateSpaceExploration if "nerds" still weren't "cool?"

Would #Hasbro have bought up #Dnd, only to monetize and squeeze all the fun out, if it was still just a scapegoat for #Satanicpanic?

Jared Isaacman, a private astronaut who has orbited Earth in a SpaceX capsule, basically has said he'd foot the bill to take a maintenance crew to Hubble if NASA would greenlight such a mission.
