To drag things even fractionally back to on-topic, space exploration is becoming a partisan wedge issue and shitlibs are completely on the wrong side of it.

"I Fucking Love Science" redditors jerk off when Starship tests fail, praying for it to be canceled, and bemoan Jeff Bezos sending his future ex-wives to the Karman Line. Trump is the first president in decades who even pretended to be vaguely interested in space, although surely its appeal to him is its simple grandiosity.

Obama signed off on SpaceX in the first place, but he also put that asshole in charge of NASA who said that NASA's three priorities should be fighting climate change, educating children and Muslim outreach, and sort of forgot to mention sending people into fucking space
And aside from that, Obama was a decade ago and things have gotten worse. People are downright Gil Scott Heron-pilled now. Bernie Sanders space policy literally said "We should stop worrying about wasting money on space until we've fixed our problems here on earth"
He was the guy everybody wanted to be President *so* bad
