Same for me, too. And Elon Musk took all the joy out of his big rocket launch (and occasional explosion) livestreams when he unmasked as full nazi in public. And the Russian space program? Dead to me.

We should just get back in the sea. Our species is done.

@cstross I’m sort of hoping it might still change when they’re actually going for boots on the moon, but yeah, so far it’s decidedly shrug.
@Tubemeister Trump will use the phone call as an opportunity to harangue the crew for including a woman, a non-white, and a foreigner—then sell shares in his project to build a golf course on the Sea of Tranquility (which is of course a grift: "It's out of this world!"), not realising they're not actually landing this time.

@cstross Yeah he’ll make it all about him somehow, slather his ugly mug all over it and thus the whole thing is tarnished.

And the deja vu is rather strong. Crook in the White House, war they’re going to lose, going to the moon. It’s 1969 all over again.

Well that IS when they thought America was great
