A community to discuss space & astronomy through a STEM lens
Also keep in mind, mander.xyz's rules on politics
Please keep politics to a minimum. When science is the focus, intersection with politics may be tolerated as long as the discussion is constructive and science remains the focus. As a general rule, political content posted directly to the instanceβs local communities is discouraged and may be removed. You can of course engage in political discussions in non-local communities.

With what's being done to the education system we'll be lucky if the average American believes the moon is real a few years from now.
Everyone knows it's just projected on the sky dome from Area 51.
I heard that this is the projection of a pizza used by elites that eat children's brains. Elite which is themselves a bunch of reptilians aliens. "This is known".
Why would we win? Are we even capable of having high end scientists anywhere?
You could, if you really wanted. Stop electing assholes and maybe...
my disappointment in my countrymen couldn't be bigger. it's ridiculous they will elect a known and nakedly corrupt con man simply because they hate brown children.
Yes, you've now got high end scientists in universities across Europe!
I'm visiting China right now. I was in the states a couple years back. If someone thinks that the US has any chance of winning this space race, even without Trump and his anti-science administration, they're just delusional.
Is the US trying to get back to the moon again? If so, why?
I'm more entertained by China absolutely spanking the US on EV and hybrid EV cars.
There's no higher ground than the moon, and this time whoever gets there will stay there.
I have no doubt that China will get people to the moon, but stay there? Long term habitation on the moon is an unsolved problem even conceptually, let alone the part where you actually have to build it
What's unsolved about the concept? It doesn't have to be self sustaining, and most of it is just engineering challenges that can be solved by throwing money at it.
