The Right doesn't care what people actually believe.
They happily quote MLK on a daily basis.
Ray Bradbury was always anti-fascist, but he called out President Obama because there were no space missions during the Obama terms. After Bradbury died the Right tried to cherry pick quote to make him look like a life long Republican.
Bradbury needed to look closer then because Obama was working on NASA to get it built back up. Trump didn't magically make rockets available in a couple years. That stuff takes a very long lead time to get right.
Yet somehow, people still think Mr. "We'll be on Mars by 2025," who is still launching rockets that explode mid-air, should be allowed to throw out this tried and true method. Surely, the idea of "move fast and break things" is more financially responsible than polluting debris and waste over the country. Fucking monorail salesman...
SpaceX was an accomplishment that got a lot done. Elon might be shit, but he hasn't destroyed everything he's touched.
I think he's always been a sociopathic narcissist. However. It was around the time of the "pedo" comment or early Covid that he completely purged anyone who would tell him no, surrounded himself with yes-men, and fried his brain with drugs.
Pedo comment was the moment I realized what he actually was. I thought he seemed pretty cool before that. My class consciousness wasn't fully evolved at that point though or I would have realized he had to be a piece of shit to be a billionaire.
Did you never hear about falcon 9 or something? SpaceX's design process is tried and true. They used it to design the most successful rocket platform ever made. Not only is first stage reuse a massive breakthrough in it's own right but they pulled it off with arguably the most reliable rocket in history,
per Bradbury's Wikipedia Article
Yeah that's uh... that sounds about right. I wonder a lot about that generation.
Would Rod Serling, a humanist at heart, who campaigned to bring black actors onto mainstream TV sets, and always sent a message that the individual should always fight against an oppressive regime.... would he too be lost in a sea of republicanism as he got older and the world changed around him?
I'm glad we'll never know.
