Me: So when are we going back NASA?........NASA? NASA Scientists to NASA CEO: When can we finally tell them that we never went & can't go ?
HolyStalactite
Liar, the earth is flat, and the moon is fake. Easy there grandpa you've been watching those twilight show reruns again haven't you.
RVME
My favorite Astronaut. He brought back an entire career of looking at who we really are in this universe, and worked at it to the end.

They might die there, so without oxygen and a space suit.... uh, wait.
mikeemoo2071
The only downside is the immense amount of energy needed to get them up there; needs some sort of giant trebuchet to launch them
Fuujin
Soon after colonizing Mars we will have petty interplanetary politics. Humans will take the pettiness with them where ever we go. Cheers.

Is this like the joke about 12 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
GrumpyStump
In space, no one can hear you spout Bullshit
boneclawmother
Remember earlier this year when NASA had to say "no we're not running Martian sex slave camps?" I miss when it was just celebrities dying.
GodEmperor0fMankind
Wait what? That was a thing? I completely missed that!

Even better, look at the full sized "family portrait" Voyager 1 took, the one with Pale Blue Dot. We're so effing small and insignificant.

...that's the exact opposite of a solution. After all, the problem with politicians is that they're too far removed. Even further won't help

Except nobody has gone to the moon yet.

You need to make sure you don't make the tinfoil hat too tight or it will cut off circulation to your brain.
Hey I don’t complain about y’all wantin to walk around with brains bombarded with EMF’s controllin your mind and givin you brain cancer
SanKa13
Are you naturally this stupid you train really hard? What proof besides some idiotic youtube video you have?
What proof do you have?
DisgracedSensei
Would he also do and say that to female politicians? I'm genuinely curious what his reply would be.
RageSamurai
why the hell would he say something different to female politicians
A large man snatching a woman up by her neck and screaming curses at her. Just an interesting contrast to what he probably visualized.
Well, she couldn't really be a son of a bitch, right?
Ligatura
But i heard from credible internet sources that no human has been on the moon and that space travel isn't possible. I believe the internet!
turk187
They'd suffocate. Which I am in favor of.

Two words Americans should remember.. Sovereign Nations. Just dwell on that for a half century.
dallasgamesales101
Every astronaut shares that same epiphany when they look down on the world from space.
theyar
Yeah, because politicians had nothing to do with putting him on the moon in the first place, right?
MordorTheUnforgiving
the fact that it took the need for international dick waving to get us to the moon, is a sad thing not a good thing.
That's a cherry-picking way to look at human achievement. Besides, I'm not just taking about Cold War competition. Regardless of why, 1/?
this guy has no career except that which politicians conceived of, rallied support for, and organized funding for. 2/2
visorian
Yes yes politicians are responsible for everything, thank God there's poeple that talk about stuff in this world.
I don't get your point, but don't you think it's a little bit ironic that this guy is condescending to the very people who sent him?
animalrv
And if the politician keeps acting like an ass, just leave him out there in space
tomb818
no space suit? excellent idea
sheepking1
No, we give them a suit so they can watch what becomes of the world conscious of their ever dwindling O2 supply.
SanPedroLover
Thats what they should do to all politicians
Meatwalls
I'm pretty sure that's murder.
ArtOzz
Which is terrible if you think about it. These bastards were intended to represent us. Be our ambassador. Be in our corner. And look.

I mean, I agree that a lot of them are snakes, but certainly not all politicians are bad. Especially local ones. Many of them went in to 1/
AGuyWithAMusicDegree
New idea: politicians must live in space during their term. After their term we vote again... to decide if we let them come back to earth!
Hydrapod
Got it. So, when someone doesn't immediately share your point of view, you inflict violence on them and forcibly kidnap and threaten them.
No when someone is being petty show them that they are small and not as high and mighty as they see themselves
ElbowDeepInAJedi
I support dragging all politicians to the moon as well
NotThatGuy2
Im gonna go be a politican if it means a free moon trip
crabpeopledefenseforce
thats how you get moon nazis

I support your idea IF we drag them up there minus space suits...
Exactly my thought.

Or you know you could be on the middle ground and realize that both sides have shitty ideas and good ideas because no one political ideology

a species.

You have half of that right.
NaughtButOne
Which half? Neither side cares about you, they don't give a shit about your hopes or dreams, just as long as you help them stay in power.
Go look at what Obama accomplished when he had a Democratic congress for 2 years. Learn yourself out of this ignorance.
SJohnson23
Well, one side keeps pushing for healthcare, for better public education, for environmental standards, for higher minimum wages.
The other pushes for corporation rights, for the abolition of net neutrality, to scrap environmental protections, to limit worker’s rights.
Now I don’t know you, dear reader, but unless you’re a major corporation, only one side seems to be trying to help you.
AgolfHiller
Both sides don't give a shit about any of that unless it makes them money
Both sides pander to whatever they think will sway the majority of voters to their side. The blue team doesn't give a shit about your >

Congressgiraffe
Political nihilism. If we believe that democracy will die. If voters feel that they can't make a difference with their votes, why vote?
Why ... not vote?
Because if voters feel both obtains are the same (that both don't care about the voter) what difference will be made by voting.
Why not ... believe voting makes a difference
....political nihilism is the picture. Is the belief that voting doesn't make a difference. I'm not advocating for it just defining it

You know you don't need to bring religion into it, if you believe in being nice to each other and respect each other, who cares.
ThePizzaGuyOfJustice
I think the sad reality is that a large group of people don't give a single shit whether their politician actually cares or not.

I think there were plenty who cared and knew, but thanks to how our politics work, he got royally screwed over by hillary.

I'll correct myself; it wasn't politics itself, but the way politicians twist and spin information and exploit the system that screwed him.
LongDongShiverGiver
He was an independent running on a major platform. I supported him but let's be realistic about it. Still voted Clinton.

You voted for her AFTER she rugged the primaries to cheat the candidate YOU favored? You don't even need politicians to screw you...

You know our current president wants to build a wall across our entire southern border, right?
This... has nothing to do with the current moron in office. This is comment thread about Bernie, cous.
nope it was so easy so finance. few percentage of the income of the 2% top of the list can finance sooooo much, it is ridiculous.
I mean seriously, if a ceo makes 335 times + more than the average worker, 79% of the profits are paid to the top 3% in the company.
