It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
To those still complaining about Artemis 2: We spend 100× more on killing people for oil profits, but yeah, NASA’s the problem. 🤦🏽♀️ NASA: $25B Defense: $901B That’s 36 NASAs. Space programs have driven major advancements in science, medicine, and technology, real benefits for humanity.
