it doesn't feel like any of this is "for all mankind" anymore.
it feels like it's for american billionaires who want to own the moon.
not much to say. it feels like everything everyone else is saying came a day late and a pound short.
sláinte.🥃
i want to be excited about the artemis ii moon mission, but i can't forget that fucking elon musk is a part of it and he's a piece of shit.
i hope the astronauts have a safe and glorious trip and i also hope elon musk gets locked up for the rest of his life.
this is interesting...

@ernmander@squatch.online how do i switch—or (since i'm reasonably literate and that's probably a question requiring a vast answer 😬) where do i start?
remember back before doomsday...
when elon musk was promoting donald trump and the doge assault on the usa government—when he decided the moon was a better adventure than mars for now? and he said he didn't need any help from jeffrey epstein to have sex with young girls because he was rich?
yeah... good times.
found this wi' a note "from a secret admirer" at my hotel this morning. 😀
this after trump fucked the ev incentives and manufacturers started closing their facilities that make them. hmm... better catch up usa car makers. china is blowing you away right now.

apollo 8 flew from dec 21 through the 27 back in 1968. it was the first crewed spacecraft to reach the moon. frank borman, jim lovell, and william anders orbited the moon ten times and then returned to earth. they were the first humans to see and photograph the far side of the moon and an "earthrise."
i was born in 1965.
since we're finally catching up to where we left off in the 60's... my new name is "doctor whoot" and i wear a weathered mac like sam spade and an owl helmet like hawkman.
happy easter to those who celebrate. i hope you get lots of whatever you're supposed to get.
eggs.
i hope you get lots of eggs.
and jesus candy.
all of humanity is in this one photograph except the astronaut who took the picture...
from 1969, shot taken by astronaut michael collins. it captures the lunar lander with armstrong and aldrin inside it. earth can be seen in its entirety behind it on the horizon line.
