Seriously though for old times' sake you're totally wrong, initials-guy.
Dude's not saying going into space is inherently bad but is creating a juxtaposition between the ability of Americans and American government to rally around the cause of space-faring and spend enormous sums of money to that end, and pat ourselves on the back with gusto for accomplishing it, while at the same time, the poor and oppressed are suffering and dying unjustly.
He's trying to contextualize the much-lauded achievement of the moon-landing into relative unimportance in the face of the inhuman realities of poverty, and in particular poverty and associated ills born of race-discrimination (and remember this was just a few years after the Civil Rights Act), and the failure to address those.
I mean honestly he's got a pretty good point. It's not an either/or thing he's talking about, just attempting to point out the dramatic difference in the urgency, patriotism, celebration, and money we're willing to lavish on proving our science dick was bigger than the USSR's compared to what we're willing to expend to combat poverty.
You know I have to let out these monologues or else my poops start coming out pitch-black.

Oh god now I want someone to make a documentary film about the first colony on Mars and how we discovered alien technology there and discovered faster-than-light travel.
so basically a prequel to Mass Effect
Only as a played-completely-straight feature-length documentary film.
what was that mini-series Tom Hanks did about NASA and the moon landings? It was incredible, I set riveted in front of the screen and gobbled it all up
Tom Hanks knows his shit
From the Earth to the Moon.
yes
I need to find that thing and watch it again
the episode where it shows how they designed and built the landing pod was the greatest
That would be episode 5, I think. Spider.
The series was based on a book, but buggered if I can remember what it was called.
Speakng of which, I really should grab Gene Cernan's Autobiography from my dad sometime.
yeah i'm working on it now. well, trying to come up with writing for it right now.
i'm taking a break at the moment, though, and eating some delicious alfalfa sprouts with apple cider vinegar.
it will probably be the first comic that someone from the boards creates that absolutely no one will like.
this post was misleading. it's not as though i'm going to do the whole lolpoorquality thing. i'm going to try very hard to make it good whether i'm going for humor or some nice pretty writing. it's just that the humor i do love most never really translates to text. it pretty much only works if i'm in person delivering it.
i've evolved beyond every other mean of humor.

You are the first of the humor sapiens. In the future, all jokes will be complex ciphers and man's merit shall be weighed in Futores.

Instead of blowing billions of dollars on space travel they should invest the money in researching an affordable way of permanent hair removal.
Can't you get laser or whatever for that already?
Man. Not only do I have ass hair that's rapidly creeping north and becoming back hair, but I'm almost positive that my hairline is starting to recede. And this is at 19.

Luckily they can transplant hair from your ass and put it on your head.
Or maybe they can just swap out your ass and your head entirely. It'd be an even bigger improvement!

I'm still hoping that's how they do a Cloverfield sequel.
