      You make it sound so bad. As if diving in a submarine is dangerous. I mean, we can go to the Titanic without issues, so we should be fine going to moon caves right?

      Right?.. 👀

      I don’t get what would be the benefit, really. Scientific research, sure. But do we need monkeys on sight? We can land robots and rovers. What can a monkey do what a robot can’t? Keeping anything alive in space, on the mokn or on Mars makes every operation so much more complex. It’s stupid and unnecessary. But it’s a dream of Musk, the world’s biggest scam artist. So why not spend billions of tax money on his stupid dream, making his company a shit to of money. But Trump is probably getting re-elected, so Musk isn’t the stupidest thing out there anymore.

        “It’s a dream of Musk”

        Guess you were born recently, because this stuff predates Musk even being born.

        But you’re so blinded by Musk living in your head rent free, you don’t even bother to learn about the windmill at which you’re tilting.

        Luddites, using the very high tech they’re trying to destroy…oh the irony.

          We’ve already been there. We did it. Done. We quit doing it a looooong time ago. Why are we trying to go back now?
