I was recently talking about this but with the moon. I’m not sure about a moon base but the next time mankind will land on the moon is 2028. If they settle and get a rotation going for supplies people could probably be living on the moon in 2030.
Enjoy looking up at a deserted moon while it lasts, soon you’ll always be looking up at moonmen.
So if orbiting earth doesn’t count as “on earth”, why does sitting in a plane just couple hundred kilometers away count?
The limit of space is widely defined as 100 km, which no commercial plane even nearly crosses.
Yeah that’s called Kármán line, but it’s just arbitrary line. ISS is still orbiting within Earth’s thermosphere
That’s probably when the timeline split, and we got stuck in this one.
8 days after that was when Bush Jr won the presidency over Al Gore due to a bullshit call by the state his brother was the governor of.
Can you imagine how extraordinary different our lives would be today if Al Gore was the President on 9/11 so Dubya couldn’t use it as an excuse to reboot his Daddy’s war? Fuck every single irredeemable fucktard involved in that deliberate choice.
I think it was in 2016. The Cubs won the World Series a week before Trump won the election. I blame a Cubs fan with a monkey’s paw or time machine.
That we know of…
That’s fucking awesome
At least we all got one last Halloween together :’)

I have a love/hate relationship with a lack of a comma somewhere around “old” in your message.
