To the Moon, Alice!

Kamala Harris to NASA: Are you able to 'track trees' by race for 'environmental justice?' [More]

That ought to fit right in with their "equity mission"!

When I was young, noting the truly great advancements that had already been achieved, we had hopes for actualizing dreams like Space Station V, Moon Base Alpha, a Martian research station, and mining operations on various asteroids and gas giants' moons by now.  We might have been close if those tasked to work the issues were more concerned with the final frontier and less focused on "global wealth transfer scams" and flying George Takei out to make sure everyone is toeing the diversity line.

Instead, they can't even get back to where men from half a century ago had gone before, although somehow, that's not stopping the Chicoms from playing tortoise to our sleeping hare.

Bang! Zoom!

Yeah, but look at all the problems, the infrastructure bill, the national debt, the ...

OK, Greta.

But as we've seen, privatizing is going from the visionary to the doable. In order to take the next steps, we need to actualize another expectation that this country used to have while not realizing it was being given up/stolen daily: Freedom.

I suppose since people come here expecting some kind of tie-in with guns, longtimers will remember when I (singlehandedly, attracting no shortage of leftist ridicule) got the FAA to acknowledge the individual rights "interpretation" of the Second Amendment and change its commercial space transportation rule.

  1. My wife's cousin is an engineer on the Ares project. I joked with him that by the time they get their bird in lunar orbit, they're going to have to call SpaceX Approach Control, ask for clearance, and wait in the pattern for a landing pad to free up.

    He didn't think it was funny.

  2. "Environmental justice" is contemporary Marxist shorthand for whining, "why do the poor people have to live by the rendering plant?" Here Kamala is whining, "Why do rich people have landscapes, while poor people have only streetscapes?" The always-unwelcome answer to both is the same: "Get an education and a real job, then improve your circumstances." They will do anything to hear a different answer.
