    I thought space travel was just around the corner until I was like 22 :(

    Musk gave me hope when he sent a car to mars and then he spent the next decade either fucking democracy or fucking children.

      when did musk send a car to Mars?

      I know space x put one in orbit as an advertisement campaign but Mars is ridiculously more impressive.

      I can’t find any source to back up your claim though

      Musk wanted to fuck children but wasn’t cool enough with the pedo crowd. Which is gross and extremely pathetic.

      I too have high hopes I’ll see a human in orbit or on mars before I die. But all that big money is instead being spent on mega yachts and lobbying to fuck us over. So I think it’s more likely we’ll be living in a Mad Max movie instead of a cool space sci-fi one.

        Just because he’s too cringe to be allowed on the main pedo island, it doesn’t mean he couldn’t have found other ways.

        It’s maddening how Earth has become a resort for about 2000 of this monsters, while everyone else has to suffer to feed their neverending greed.

          Luckily we don’t need any sci-fi tech to solve this problem. A French invention that’s already two centuries old at this point will do just fine.

            Hear me out for a second, what if we did a bit of both and built guillotine drones?

        I thought there were multiple instances of him “partying”. There’s mostly just that one email exchange where they didn’t want him back.

      He just sent that car to orbit. Its not really a great achievment we have been sneding heavier things than that for some time. Just a publicity stunt and rocket test in one.

      I will always be grateful to my second year middle school geography teacher for hinting towards Musk’s space grift. They were so underated, but everything they said was real.
