Since when did NASA become a fashion statement for normies who don't give a shit about space or science?

Have you ever thought maybe they're studying science?

It's a homage to this

I know for a fact that many of these people aren't studying science.
Most are sitting around the liberal arts section of the school

This is actually a very well thought out post.

>is it better to drive the Porsche ?
>is it better to watch someones Porsche on fire?

God damn you are an insufferable faggot. NASA isn't your secret club. Have you ever even worked for/with NASA in any capacity? Probably not. You just want to feel superior to others because your supposed intellect is your only redeeming quality

I go to a liberal arts school and people have NASA stickers and shirts like CRAZY

At one point there were packs of 1000s of NASA stickers just around the school. It got to the point that everyone writing their sociology midterm paper was doing on with a macbook with a NASA sticker.

It truly is cancerous in some parts of this school...

Literally everything that normies do amounts to social posturing or just random shit that they have no intent behind (i.e, something is popular so ill automatically like it).

Just forget about it, they're basically bipedal ants.

dude ants are legit af, humans can only dream of that level of industry and social unity. normies are just trash

Wear a Kerbal shirt to counter them.

Why do people where any shirts that advertise bullshit? They are just trying to signal their interests, superficial or not, to those around them. Is this hard to understand, OP?

Nasa's last resort to get people to fall for their bullshit before people wake up to the reality that space is fictional. LEGIT!

Can relate.

>space isn't real g-boy, don't waste your time looking for its untold riches

Don't judge a person so easily. They might love science.

they might even fucking love science xD

>I go to a liberal arts school

Maybe they're people who study in a stem field but are so embarassed by autismos like you that they have to hide

I am baffled at the fact that idiots found that post to be true, anyone with brain cells to rub together would realize it is a troll post, yet multiple individuals on youtube made videos based around that statement.

Or they just like space, who knows but I do see your point

The meatball logo is aesthetic, so I don't think it's too surprising that it's become a trend.
I only flaunt the NASA apparel that I got for free from internships: a padded backpack that still smells like mothballs and a sticker.

>1987 + 30
>Not wearing the NASA worm logo

Oh yeah it used to look like that

yeah and in contrast you know everything about NASA, you're unique user.

Better than Che Guevara, I guess

It's ok just buy a Roscosmos shirt, and when you see someone wearing a NASA shirt ask them how they get their astronauts to the ISS and screech at them

He's an asocial autist, and like many of his kind he's too stuck up his own poopy ass to understand having more people interested in something equals more funding.

I would actually do that

when women got ahold of it

>based antposter

worm logo is best logo

Me too, in fact I am buying a shirt now.

But I admit to some disappointment that the logo is such an obvious steal from the NASA logo -- why does Russian space program always want to copy the US program?

...

...

...

ULA gets their engines from Russia, so it's all just being fair.

Fair enough, "always" was a bit tot much. Still, Buran and that logo are pretty shameless.

When did this board become r9k

I have a worm logo hat. My shirt is the modern logo though.

LITTLE

tbf the eagle is desgined with americans in mind

This

>UNITET STATES

The Nasa thing is partially high fashion these days, its less along the lines of your typical shit like I can't explain exactly why but it does help that the logo is actually an amazing piece of design and before now it wasn't super popular.

That lander as designed to carry one cosmonaut to the surface for an EVA that would have lasted seconds, cutting way back in the need to carry consumables, etc.

They're glorifying science because they think science is cool.
>Religion is the opiate of the masses
It's just another way of keeping the American public busy to keep them from realizing that their democracy is fucking dead which is why "lulbertarianism" only works in fucking US and literally nowhere else in the world.

Science is the new religion. People keep talking about it, they keep following it, they cover themselves in science news that they don't understand (sometimes they do but it's irrelevant) because lol science.
No one gives a fuck that the US is trying to keep the middle east under control by funding terrorists so that they can have petrolium sold by the USD. Why care about the blood your nations spills when two neutron stars just collided? Which one is more interesting; sand niggers dying for money or literally 2 mountain-sized atoms colliding?
Now before the "ima voltaire-type antitheist and i can tell that u im above all religion and science is literally the salvation to everything" nerds attack me, I realize how different religion and science are. But it's still like saying "Black nationalism is different than white nationalism". Yes they are different. But they're still the same shit.

Europe has historically been better at science than the US. Why don't you see this "glorified science" culture in Europe? Because in Europe people actually care about things that matter, and only scientists care about science. In the US people think science is the ultimate salvation (especially Democrats are guilty of this, but Republicans are just as stupid for literally denying science), when in reality science won't change jack shit.

fuck you just blackpilled me

>PhD in Science
>any meme I want
>300k likes on faceberg

Since the 1970's, from Texas so

>science won't change jack shit.
then explain modern civilization. god damn your cynicism is disgusting

>Everywhere I look at my university people are wearing this shit and don't know the first thing about NASA. It's pretty annoying.
They do know the first thing about nasa. your not nearly as intellegent as you think if you truely belive people dont know about NASA. everybody knows what NASA is and how they have to pay big bad putin just to get their bois in the ISS. normies who wear this shirt are probably smarter than you, and even if they arent, "nerdy" things being stylish is a met benefit for our culture.
i have two shirts like this, im pretty sure your that black guy who asked me if i was into aerospace, and when i told you i was doing Electrical engineering you were dissapointed.
Let me tell you something. Nasa is a shell of its former self, due to politics, and it deserves some normie publicity before it dies

>dude ants are legit af
qweenposter detected

Because NASA actually has a great logo unlike literally any other space agency.

>looking at you, Australia

>Science is the new religion
I like a lot of things you have to say about how US media uses science as a distraction (on par with celebrity scandals, sports championships, or whatever else is of the moment, and ultimately irrelevant), but Religion is fundamentally different than science, and claiming they are the same is misleading at best, and anti-science at worst.

Science is ever expanding, and incorporates new understandings as they become available, are peer reviewed, and are incorporated into other, existing systems.

Religion (with extremely few exceptions) is dogmatic, has a few sacred texts, and purports to explain the otherwise unexplainable.

Science may or may not be cool, and it is often presented as yet another distraction, but it is nothing like religion.

Thank you for following my blog.

>Austrailia
>lololololo

It won't change shit in the political sense, user. You won't solve the migrant crisis by crashing particles. You won't expose world elite by tweeting about SpaceX. So forth.
In the next 50 year we may be semi-robotic, semi-immortal, use quantum computing for vidya, and all that other good stuff. This doesn't mean we'll be free from our chains (I swear I'm not a Marxist)

Hence why it's the "new" religion, user. People are smart enough to understand that religion is blind and that we need to be more pragmatic, but they aren't clever enough to see how the elite can easily use science the way they've been using religion.
How is "keep being a good lad and work for us, and you'll earn your place in the skies" different than "keep being a good lad and work for us, and you'll get to find out about the fabric of the universe"? The only difference is science is actually real, and as you've said it grows. But from a utilitarian perspective it's the same shit as religion. At least for the masses.

>Science is ever expanding, and incorporates new understandings as they become available, are peer reviewed, and are incorporated into other, existing systems.
>Religion (with extremely few exceptions) is dogmatic, has a few sacred texts, and purports to explain the otherwise unexplainable.

It's like you've never taken a theology class and are talking out of your ass about a field you never studied.

>science won't change jack shit.
what the fuck is anything, what the fuck is a gun, a missile, a building, an arch, a baloon, a parachute, an airplane, a submarine, a bomb, a radio, a loudspeaker, a windmill, a boat, a car, a helmet, etc. I can keep going indefinitly. there are a million reasons why you are retarded and your super contrarian post is retarded.
Science does not mean whatever the fuck you seem to think it means. the dumb, slave-owning farmer who invented the cotton gin used science to do this, despite modern formal education, because thats not what fucking science is. once these machines were replicated (mostly by hand through reverse engineering(thus patents became a thing)) , the southern US was unmatched in their ability to export cotton in large amounts for cheap for decades. the gun makes almost anyone capable of killing (ie. child solidiers in africa), airplanes allow hand bombers to lay waste to above-ground defence, forcing the need for bunkers. radio allowed goverments to tell their citizens exactly what they wanted to hear without question (for a limited time, before the next innovation). you are infinitly stupid, i am impressed that someone would dare to type and post something as simply wrong as this.

>religion is blind

Atheists have been using that strawman for thousands of years. Get a new insult.

>People are smart enough to [have my opinion]

Unlike the dumb asses that dare disagree with me, am i rite.

Just because someone is STEM doesn't mean they can't take interest in a humanity, autism-chan.

>It won't change shit in the political sense, user. You won't solve the migrant crisis by crashing particles.You won't expose world elite by tweeting about SpaceX.
how can you be this dense? math is a science. if you forced politicians to acknowledge crime statistics, this could solve the migrant crisis. thats still science. changing shit.
people talk about science that doesnt matter because they find it INTERESTING YOU FUCKING RETARD. they are not constantly worried about politics like you, learning scientific facts makes them happy, they have an average lifespan of 70 years, they live in a relatively safe america. they dont foam at the mouth over the global elite, because they arent gonna do shit about it. your original reply is the equivalent of "football is the new religion" "video games is the new religion" function y="x is the new religion hurr durr"
religion is religion. science is science. most people dont invest themselves in politics. (YOU) are really fucking dumb.

>theology class
lol

>global warming
lol

>NASA wasn't created for political purposes and the scientific advances were secondary

>he needs fairly tales to find joy
>he thinks they are actually true
>he thinks he will get a new life
fucking lol

Didn't know theists existed in this board. Sorry for offending you user.

>hurr durr people like it, also science makes better politicians anyway
Politicians literally don't care about statistics. Why would Australia start doing drug checks on Welfare recievers, if stats show it doesn't do jack shit? Because they don't care.
Best way to get good public approval is to pretend you're changing something when you aren't. Haven't you played Democracy before user?
Also "people like science because they like science" is not an argument user. People like many things because they like them. How does it prove that people aren't being manipulated to enjoy these things? It's not really hard to see that people's interests depend on their enviroment, otherwise "generation gaps" would not exist.

Who let this Jewish brainlet in here?

>Didn't know theists existed in this board
being a christcuck is the new edgy fedora thing

The first part is actually serious, some user added to it.

But isn't it a /pol/ack thing? I know some people are turning back to Christianity "to preserve our morals and protect our culture (from Islam/Judaism) even though the belief system may not make sense" and shit, but I never knew Veeky Forumsfags would fall for that meme.

Veeky Forums is my secret club

How do you know they don't know anything about NASA? And why does NASA being cool bother you? If normies think NASA is cool then maybe they will affect political change in the future and make space great again TM

Knock it off with the edge

You can have those things with any religion not just Christ. You can have those things as an atheist too but most atheists are cynical af

/pol/ spills onto every other board. anyway, religion aside, i have seen plenty of people on Veeky Forums who are blatantly anti-science. im not sure why they even come here

i know plenty of people who work for NASA and all of them would see it as a positive that people think its cool and wear their shirts

being atheist is not edgy anymore, at least not on Veeky Forums

>Also "people like science because they like science" is not an argument user.
holy shit man, a valid quote would be "people like science". go and read it again. Im saying people arent into acience shit because they want to change the world. interest in science (the way you have an issue with) is no different from interest in basletball. people wear golden state jersies, and they have never been to new york, nor do they think about the socioeconomic ramifications of basketball. their are people who want to be left alone, people who wont leave you alone, and people who dont care either way. the majority are the latter, you seem to be the second. get a new hobby that doesnt involve shitposting.

Truly the patrician taste

>>he needs fairly tales to find joy
"let me tell you about your own reasoning"
>>he thinks they are actually true
"he actually has an opinion different from mine, how contemptible!"
>>he thinks he will get a new life
No, "many are invited, but few are chosen" ~ last Sunday's reading.

that image makes religion look like a good idea. yet you still dont understand why people made them, do you?
Ill give you a hint
while christianity has caused scientific stagnation throughout history, it has USUALLY been a net benefit on the living standards and principles of common folk, protecting the weak from the strong with "sin" and promoting good behaivior with heaven. That was its design you moron. religions are a psychological government that can see you at all times if you believe in them, much more effective than the kings decree that thievery shall be punished with death, was the kings decree that "thou who steal shall suffer in hell forever, it is said here in the holy book!"
your sad, lonely, dumb and you have no empathy for others. you should just be glad go isint real, im sure he wouldnt take kindly to you taking out your insecurities on those you feel to be intellectually inferior to you. The truth is many people know there is no god, and in adulthood, chose to stick by religious principles because they appear to be good for society as a whole. clearly this didint work out with islam, however.

>Didn't know theists existed in this board

Veeky Forums is a Christian website. You should browse >>>/reddit/, it's more your speed.

>let people be retarded in their own way
How about no. American pop culture (including the """elite pop culture""" from places like Reddit) is retarded. It's like you fags don't even realize what your non-democratic nation is doing outside, or even inside for that matter. Literally the 2017 political debate in the US has been "Your party is corrupt" "No, yours is!".
Maybe you don't realize this because you're American but nothing about American politics is right.
>user just let me be ughhh
You don't have to read my posts faggot.

>"he actually has an opinion different from mine, how contemptible!"
not contemptible, just pathetic
>No, "many are invited, but few are chosen" ~ last Sunday's reading.
cringe

>yet you still dont understand why people made them, do you?
yes i do

>your sad, lonely, dumb
lol ok

>while christianity has caused scientific stagnation throughout history

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no. Read a history book ffs.

>noble lie
>being so smug about rehashing it

Yeah because people have never ever read Plato's Republic before. Thank you for telling me this band new novel idea.

And why stop there, what's to say that medicine isn't a lie told to control people who are about to die. Giving them false hope in placebos so they wouldn't do rash things like try to assassinate corrupt world leaders since they will die regardless. And history is a huge scam to inspire people to be patriotic and support their countries with taxes and military service. Science too could be deceiving us into false hope for trans-humanism immortality so we will gladly March For Science.

Oh I pity the feeble minded pathetic fools who aren't as woke as I am. Thank you internet, only now could these counterculture ideas be spread.

...

>Everywhere I look at my university people are wearing this shit and don't know the first thing about NASA. It's pretty annoying.

SJWs virtue signal on twatter and by protesting without knowing what they want to accomplish. Anything to help people in need without doing the hard work to actually help people or identify the people in need.
New Atheists intellectual signal by worshiping science. They wear science paraphernalia, watch and quote Big Bang Theory and Rick & Morty, and buy A Brief History of Time to display unread on their bookshelf. Anything science that doesn't involve actually learning about anything.

Welcome to societal decay.

i really can't blame the kid, he was like 14. we were all probably pretentious and douchey at that point. seems like his parents had bad intentions though

you fucking 16yr old mongoloid, religion enforced laws and organised society before police could offer good deterrent and will continue to be a solid moral foundation for gullible people atleast until your graduate highschool. hopefully we wont need it by then ;)

>not contemptible, just pathetic

You're showing contempt.

no that's just your interpretation
