Of all the absolutely terrible things Trump and this US administration has done, the thing I personally hate the most is:

A) I don't care about this Moon stuff, and I was a big space kid

B) Even if aliens are real, Trump is absolutely the worst person in the world to disclose - I'd rather not know.

Basically these fuckers have destroyed the joy in so many things

@tanepiper Oh yeah, can absolutely relate. Also a space kid, I waited decades for another manned mission leaving Earth orbit and now that it actually happens, feeling almost numb about it.

Just wait until they announce the new "Epstein Document Repository" on the Moon, free to visit by anyone.

@tanepiper won’t go as far as “the most”, but yeah that. Going to the moon. Another thing he’ll slather his name and ugly mug all over. Eh. Just another thing on the news. This despite the Lego Saturn V on my desk.

Has any head of state, of any country, ever managed to get so many of their own countrymen to despise their own country's actions both within & outside the country, maybe even root for its total failure? And would anyone ever have imagined that country would be USA? The frigging U. S. A? 🇺🇸😧 #shame

Dammit, I was trying to figure out why I was struggling to engage with Artemis II. You're right: that idiot in the White House ruins *everything*
