...
Americans have gotten progressively dumber
No wonder people don't believe in moon landing, a this point it sounds like magic.
There's no space travel with rockets.
It's just not happening.
There are no satellites, no moon landings with that sort of tech, 40 years or now.
It's all just a big joke.
Space travel is pointless when we have bigger issues at hand like Climate Change.
What scientific value there is in it can be gathered by other far less wasteful means.
A telescope is a good start.
Nothing, they realized it was a waste of money. The only way for space travel to be even remotely profitable would be if people cared about it enough to buy launch tickets and astronaut merchandise, as if they were famous athletes. But people don't give a shit so the industry is fully dependent on individual investors and government grants.
Progressive leaders finally realized that there's no point trying to go to another planet when there's so many more pressing issues facing this one.
Did you know over 20 million children are facing starvation right now? You're a fucking sociopath if you want to blow money on a pointless metal phallic symbol instead of taking care of that.

The Vietnam war. And Nixon.
The cold war ended
