Discussion: Small Step For Mankind? Trump Says ‘We’re Getting Very Big In Space’

His decision-making is so reliably casual and terrible that even when he proposes a good idea, it sounds fucking dumb.

Currently, the Air Force handles strategic warning and global information dissemination via USSTRATCOM, the Navy and Air Force jointly provide satellite communication, and satellite imagery comes from the National Reconnaissance Office. Might it make sense to fold a lot of this together and avoid duplicating capability unnecessarily? Yeah, maybe, but when Trump proposes it…

Trump: "Merchandising! Space Force the T-Shirt, Space Force the Coloring Book, Space Force the Lunch Box, Space Force the Breakfast Cereal, Space Force the Flame Thrower – the kids love this one – and last but not least, Space Force the Action Figure."

Doll: “May the Covfefe be with you.”

Trump: “Adorable!”

I see by the photo that everyone was positively thrilled to be there. Well, one person at least.

Does he know that we sent a man to the moon?

Will anyone tell Trump about the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies? Is anyone in his administration aware that the US ratified this treaty, which bans the use of celestial bodies for any military purposes, and bans weapons of mass destruction in space, and the like?

Probably some civil servants in the State Department hoping to get through these years without WW III.

Oh yeah? Well we’ll send a man to the moon ten times as hard! Believe me.

Yes. Very big in space. You can actually see Trump’s ass from Jupiter. Actually, you can mistake Trump’s ass FOR Jupiter! (Rimshot, please, Francine!)

No, the 1969 moon landing was faked in the basement of a DC pizza parlor by Hillary Clinton and John Podesta.

I would have to stay up for days in order to think up stupid shit like Trump says.

…he said the idea started as a joke, but then he changed his mind.

The story of his life, but it’s still a joke to the rest of us.

NASA has ceased work on its only lunar rover, the Resource Prospector, raising concern among some scientists about how “serious” the space organization is about fulfilling President Trump’s recent vow to send astronauts to the moon.

Give him a one-way ticket to the Delta quadrant, specifically the planet where those two Ferengi are ripping off the indigenous populace.

“Like the time I had another idea… I have really great ideas. I have a great mind. But I had an idea when I was slinging Trump Steaks and Trump University was still going strong. I had this idea where, and, you know, sometimes these things just come to me. I mean it’s amazing. So anyway, I said to Michael, ‘You know, Mike, we’ve got Trump Steaks and we’ve got Trump U, why not have a culinary division? You know, where we use both products at once?’ Mike thought it was a great idea. He even said that with all of the exotic animals my sons were bringing home from Africa, we could have an exotic cooking competition! I said we could get Stormy Daniels to do our sales pitch for it even, since she’s exotic and all.”

He knows that we supposedly did, but he considers the media reports of July 16, 1969, as the first instance of “Fake News.”

well, he does like those big rockets pointing up

NASA has the moon in the plans, but it’s a very small part. The vision is much much bigger.

The main issue right now are the MANY biochemical, neurological, histological, and social relations challenges to a long-term human presence in space. The most recent concern is termed SANS-VIIP, and is a PERMANENT visual degradation which is found in astronauts. This is a serious threat to human missions in space.
