Tangentially, I consider NASA to be an integral part of the US Military Industrial Complex and I find the English-speaking left's somewhat uncritical embrace of it to be strange.

I mean, I get it. NASA is civilian and much of its work is exploratory and non-military, but let's not pretend against all evidence that all of its discoveries are being fed directly into missile development or dual use shit like GPS.

I think we should be at least as critical of NASA as Boston Robotics or any of the other MIC adjacent companies who do civilian work but with extremely obvious military applications.

kerbal space program is true nasapunk

sounds like fallout 4

also it's not even that nasa, yeah the space suits are bulky but that's about it.

It reminds me of the Saints Row reboot in the way that it advertises infinite possibility but isn't really "about" anything. It is a sandbox in a much purer sense than most games in how thoroughly pointless and artless it is.

they started working on this game in 2015

Also, digipicks?

I HAVE A GUN. IT IS A UNIVERSAL LOCKPICK. Like ffs I know Beth only has three tricks but have they ever heard of a crow bar, or god forbid a hydraulic jack, or C4, or thermite lock cutters, or the fact that you have a giant mining laser you carry around all the time?
