The Space Race is stupid
It’s a good thing we (the US) went to the Moon 30 years ago, because in a dazzling display of cock measurement, we’re about to be in a mad rush to do it again.
We find ourselves back in the beginning of a gripping battle with the Russians to go back into space and go.. wait for it… back to the Moon. Then Mars.
The United States government is about to bleed a ton of cash getting us to Mars. Granted, there’s a few other countries that say they’re going to chip in, but I guarantee the US picks up most of the tab. China will grab the tip, and in typical form the Russians will rape the waitress.
According to Wikipedia, the ultimate tome of knowledge, the Apollo 11 moon landing cost 20-25 billion dollars. It’s a good thing we have a huge surplus of cash.
