Normally I'd be more excited about a moon mission, but I'd vastly prefer if any other nation was doing it.

Normally I'd be more excited about a moon mission, but I'd vastly prefer if any other nation was doing it. Can't really care about it when the US is bombing civilian bridges in Iran and then bombing the first responders (and as of today, apparently announcing genocide. Not their first time, I guess).
@Gargron Do they have to kiss the ring upon returning?

@Gargron My feelings exactly, Sir.

yup, the #USA fucking sucks
that dampers enthusiasm for #Artemis #Artemis2 #ArtemisII
i say:
be happy for #JeremyHansen, first Canadian in deep #space
and his mission patch was designed by #Anishaabe artist #HenryGuimond, referencing the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers
"Hansen asked Guimond to design a personal patch for his flight suit after participating in a vision quest at Turtle Lodge Centre of Excellence"
Manitoba Anishinaabe artist designs patch for Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen ahead of Artemis II launch | CBC News
A patch designed by an Anishinaabe artist from Manitoba is set to travel into deep space during the upcoming Artemis II mission as astronaut Jeremy Hansen prepares to become the first Canadian to orbit the moon.

' #NASA astronaut #VictorGlover, recently named as the pilot of the #ArtemisII #Artemis2 #Artemis mission around the Moon, listens to #GilScottHeron's poem "Whitey on the Moon" twice a week on the way to work'
Artemis II pilot Victor Glover wants to talk about "Whitey on the Moon" with his colleagues
"Where we were in 1968, when humans first set out on this voyage, our country is in a very similar place now."

A rat done bit my sister Nell
(with Whitey on the Moon)
Her face and arms began to swell
(and Whitey's on the Moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill
(but Whitey's on the Moon)
Ten years from now I'll be paying still
(while Whitey's on the Moon)

@Gargron There are multiples more concerns Earth bound, so wasting more vital resources on even further value spaces, is amateurish at best.

@Gargron any scientific advancement from this mission would immediately find its way into the military industrial complex and be used against innocents in the next genocide. Thankfully, the scientific value of the mission is very limited. I'm just angry that us Europeans collaborate with the fascists on this mission

it's not funny or a joke, unless someone considers casual bigotry "a funny joke"
