I wouldn’t have gone to the moon if I were them. You know they’ll have to meet the president after they get back. It’s not worth it.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
totally worth it.
free ride to the moon and a chance to kill the most sadistic megalomaniac in history?
hell yeah, sign me the fuck up!

It ain’t free. They’re on the clock, they’re being paid.

Maybe they’ve got some Farscape episodes on their computers. Probably watching them enviously.

He’s asking how young the girls in space are, and they’re thinking about all of the Sci-Fi movies where the Earth blows up and astronauts have to watch it go.

All the sci-fi movies? Can I get some recommendations?
fartographer@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
That’s literally the plot of The Shining. It’s in Stanley Kubrick’s hidden messages from the fake moon that he invented or something.

Not a movie, but a music video for a great song

I have a book sort of like this. SevenEves by Niel Stephenson.
The book blows up (or gets hit or something). The dist will make earth uninhabitable within a few years. I want to say Seven Years. I remeber the SevenEves title has many possible “meanings” and I think years to collapse was one.
They basically work to get as many people as they can, which isn’t many, into space working with the small crew of a (larger than ISS but not huge) space station. Including all of the logistics of food and housing.
The first two thirds are pretty good, the lattwr third jump to the future and fallout and I hated that part, but the first part is good.
EvilFonzy@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
I.S.S. is based on that, there was a Cloverfield spin off that was pretty similar, too. I’m sure there are a bunch more, and I’d be interested to see them, too.

“DEFCON-4” leaps to mind (www.imdb.com/title/tt0087130/).

Luckiest folks in the human race. Furthest from Trump.
Soup@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Furthest from Trump and yet were told they needed to be on a direct call with him. Apparently even being in space isn’t enough.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
They could presumably be within 300 miles of him.

The good part of the speech took about 60 seconds, FYI. (Way longer than in that video.)

The mission may be called Integrity, but this part was pure Endurance.

I assume only maga astronauts (or ones who can do a convincing facsimile thereof) on the ground would be allowed in the crew.
Vupware@lemmy.zip 8 hours ago
You assume incorrectly. I’ve been watching the stream for days. They named their craft Integrity, for fuck’s sake. They have been promoting messages of unity and global cooperation for the betterment of ALL humankind. Does that sound MAGA to you?
punkfungus@sh.itjust.works 5 hours ago
I was watching live when Trump called in, and the astronauts were clearly trying to emphasize the benefits of diversity and co-operation, and I’m quite sure none of that sunk in. Trump was too busy mispronouncing names, not knowing the difference between the name of the mission and the name of the craft, big noting his own role in funding NASA (while his administration has been actively attacking NASA) and generally waffling on because he likes to listen to himself speak.
The next call after that also had the NASA director comment something like “I’m sure this call won’t be as special as that last one” whereupon commander Wiseman burst out laughing so I’m pretty confident those involved in the mission are not in Trump’s camp. Which is to be expected, because their jobs require them to be humans with functioning brains.
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Astronauts are highly educated and trained individuals. Not a single MAGA ding dong is qualified to go into space.
BanMe@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Apparently they just let Trump talk and didn’t respond for a full minute and Trump was like “anyway you’re the best” and they still didn’t respond and Trump’s people ended the call.
The astronauts gave him the silent treatment. They could clearly hear him.
dev_null@lemmy.ml 2 hours ago
I watched it live, they did respond to his direct questions, but at some point Trump went into a monologue that didn’t end in a question, and they didn’t say anything back, keeping a silence going for an awkward amount of time until Houston asked if they are still on the line and they confirmed that yeah they heard everything. And said nothing else.
