We're making Soviet rockets illegal going forward! Going to the moon would be hard, so we're making it easy! We will not be taking any questions—God bless America!!

It's easy, we just make a privatized apollo program, how hard could it be?

3000 dead astronauts later...

Optimistic of you to assume only astronauts would die.

What goes up must come down. Can't wait to die instantly because a failed rocket launch incinerated my entire house.

Oh, plenty of working class people would be obliterated by rocket engines, but that doesn't stick in the news the way troops dying does.

Not until right-wing conspiracy media starts to scapegoat some minority for failed rocket launches.

"Its the DEI folks! They're intentionally raining rockets down onto our houses to do white genocide!"
