    Will putting a man in Mars help with rent pricing? Will it make it easier for us working folk to pay the bills?

    And you guys did not disappoint with the stupid comment of the morning I was hoping wouldn't come, but knew it would.

    Please by all means.... sign up for that first manned flight to Mars. All of you should jump on that opportunity with Elon. Bring your Cybertrucks too for those Mar's missions.

    do you not think putting a man on Mars is important? Or is the preservation of your political party more important?

    Democrats dont want to put a man in Mars, they want to put a man in a women's bathroom...

    Right now it is -81 degree Fahrenheit on Mars and we can’t even get a manned mission to the Moon off the ground.

    Yes the preservation or restoration of a functional democratic free society is more important to me personally as fascinating as the science of space exploration is.

    The engineering push to terraform Mars also could lead to innovation that could also terraform earth back into earth too so yeah of course the science is important.

    But it’s hilarious that a MAGA weirdo stepped right in to assert this obnoxious ownership of mars colonization to “own the libs”. That was hilarious and was far beyond the batsh$ttery I was expecting especially after challenging you guys to say anything competent. You guys are about as close to owning Mars as I am to buying majority ownerships of Tesla. You guys are in such a fantasy is beyond mind blowing.

    Space exploitation in private capital hands just turns into a scheme to create a eventual escape from the poors on Earth turning violent. That's what space exploration becomes that and a way to advance mining and extraction of resources on other rocky surfaces in or solar system.

    Space exploration in the hands of public money becomes an endover of intellectual curiosity and national pride that can create innovative manufacturing techniques that can be utilized by the private sector afterwards.

    Looks like Yang is tired of being a loser and quit the Democrat party.
    All that's left are the fringe left and their blind followers. Didn't Sandra Bullock make a movie about this?

    No no no, you dont get to play this game. The economy was WHAT YOU PEOPLE were complaining about. People would then try to explain to you the effects and why pricing was the way it was. We had an understanding of how it works.

    Now that Trump is in office, you dont give a damn about the economy lol, even thought thats what Orange Buffoon campaigned on, its really funny.

    And all that's left of the Republican Party is the lunatic fringe, Nazi's, and people too stupid not to vote against their own interests. Didn't Mel Gibson make a movie about this?

    Did I do it right?

    Except for the fact that both of us are wrong. There are plenty of people who claim both parties who are not on the fringe.

    There are people who are more concerned with maintaining status quo and enforcing current ideology. They would happily force their agenda on the entire world and discard anything that goes against their belief structure. Its part of human nature and has been around since human consciousness. Its hivemind like thinking where there is one elite entity and everything else around it serves its purpose. It never works well in a species that thrives in free will, but if one wants to be a useless drone, then perhaps in their next life they can choose to be an ant or bee, devoid of free will. Thats pretty much sums up anyone who blindly supports social constructs like the republican/democrat party ... or religious r****ds like Christans/Muslims/ect... Some creatures were not born to think but to serve, act like obedient NPC's. NPC's would sit around and mock christopher columbus and his explorations. If modern democrat thinking was flourishing back then like it is now, the American continent would be speaking Chinese or Japanese.

    Getting to the moon and building a base is well within our capability of modern technology. We would be there by now if we were not too busy fighting over political and religious ideology. You're free to serve the cult of your choice. Stop expecting everyone else to think like you.
