     I don’t really give a shit about buzz and the space crew. They took a risk, but the stuff I actually find impressive was most of those astronauts’ pre-space career as test pilots in the jet age. They had some manual stuff in the flights to the moon, but they had their hand held throughout all of that, it’s a bit like congratulating the chumps who “summit” everest today with an assortment of sherpa slaves ensuring there’s no way to fail.

     Now that they’ve all been milking their job from like 65 years ago I can’t help but roll my eyes the same way I do when someone excitedly tells me about the “First X woman to Y”. Can’t help it, I’ve been bombarded by boomers’ moon landing wonderment all my life, it’s not special to me, it was a high water mark by nazis and it will never be repeated again, this shit society has no right to covet it and take credit like it does today.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot This is the era of turning out heros into jokes. Just destroying any chance of us being able to take any pride in our achievements.

     Plus, even if it was real it was completely pointless. It achieved virtually nothing.

     They did some impressive things with no/minimal handholding tho. Armstrong manual first landing while almost running out of fuel. Apollo 13s manual course correction burn.
     
     Sure they had a lot of help, but these were capable guys on their own too. Unlike the upcoming moon mission with a bunch of completely useless idiots flown around by computers.

     @Bro-Drillard Still not as cool as when they were the only dude in the ejection seat, sprinting along at supersonic, with nobody on the horn to back them up

     I’m at the point where I almost believe that the American space program didn’t land on the moon. At least NASA didn’t get there.

     But I believe that The Nazis in NASA got them on the moon.

     Basically if you want me to buy into this utopian, modernist fake that the 60’s space race was a wonderful, humankind effort where brilliant jews from europe led legions of negresses running the calculations - I’m gonna grimace and ask how the lander managed to have enough unused payload to bring up a 4-wheeler to drive around the minute people got sick of watching desert hopscotch in “space”

     But if you tell me that the bulk of the most vital motive force behind the moon landing came from former reichsmann who lent their high-minded genius to seeing through a lifelong dream? That the greatest generation of slide-rule engineers at the freshly stropped, cutting edge of science joined hands with the smartest white guys from around the world to brutalize physics into submission? Yeah, I buy that one.

     It’s funnier and it’s a little true when you realize “America” really ran out of speed once all those old guys died off. We’ve been relegated to sending RC cars and pretending that’s anywhere near as impressive and impactful as what they did.

     @Aether IDK what that is but the roadster is a lot less fancy when you drove those ones, they were creaky as shit in the inside

     @WashedOutGundamPilot In fairness that Tesla Roadster Elon launched did give me the ultimate rebuttal to Russells Teapot

     Don't forget the later NASA was marked by shit like the infamous O-Ring memo and later Colombia's disintegration and how it was handled.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot Nazi scientists were literal unobtanium. A unique non-renewable resource that we burned for warmth right up until it ran dry the 90s and we never figured out an alternate energy source.
