Oh dear, it appears the once-great NASA has now stooped so low as to beg for our outdated smartphones during this year's solar eclipse. It's a shameful sight to see the once-proud organization that sent men to the moon is now reduced to soliciting cell phones from the public just to carry out basic astronomical observations. I guess that's what happens when Democrats get their grubby little hands on things - they turn them into inefficient messes. How absurd that these rocket scientists can't manage a simple observation without relying on citizens' phones!
Did you read the article? Could you give a few quotes as to why that is your main takeaway here?
I feel like the comment was sarcastic. At least, that's how I read it in my head.
The problem is, this is how a certain demographic unironically thinks sometimes.
Nope, based on the user's comment history, they're a conservative nutjob.
