I rewatched The Martian and totally forgot how optimistic this movie is about technology, America, and international relations sadness-abysmal

when this movie came out in 2015 my little liberal ass loved it. i still believed in a future.

we dont even have bazinga mars nerds anymore just different flavors of "i wont eat the bugs" all clawing at each other to climb out of a pit rapidly filling with water

xi i will scrub toilets please give me a K visa agony-soviet

where the USSR doesn't collapse (because they got the moon landing first - it's a space show so whatever, sure)

Doesn't FAM actually put in some effort to divert the USSR's fate (w/r/t Andropov actually doing everything right before handing it to Gorby)? Or was I just reading someone's headcanon?
