This pisses me off so much. I literally have all the dates and schedules i could find of every one of those missions to return to the moon saved in my phone calendar. This was the most excited I've been for something like this my entire life.

I feel you. I’m super into this stuff, and it feels like some of the things that truly inspired me are being destroyed every day. Stay strong. We’ll get through this. we have to. It’s people like us that make the dream.

Tell him there are rare minerals on the moon. He seems to be fixated on those. Or Musk was. I doubt Trump knows what they are used for.

So back to low earth orbit only. Id be fine if we sent robots there as long as they experimented with building things and advancing tech.
