I am staring in disbelief. We used to explore space. Now we finance glorified firework and make chicken toothpaste.
Space is nothing but dead rock, hot potato, fart planets, long live chicken breath!
Tbf we still explore space
I mean, scientists still study space. We still send out probes and build telescopes. But do we really explore?
And I don't mean manned missions - I mean at one point the world explored space as a proxy for war. Afterwards, we even came together to continue to a lesser extent... Now Musk is rushing the decommissioning of that aging monument early
What happens when the ISS comes down?
The world used to watch missions as a celebration of our species, but now we just get click bait articles about what other people found... What's left of we don't even have people leaving the atmosphere?
The future is now, old man!
