    Instead of making more holywood moon landings and now Mars landings, try penetrating the Van Allen radiation belts. If you try going through them, they will fry you quickly. Only the fried body will leave the Earth.

    I believe these space thingies are only a distraction from the real harm we are being caused by the parasitic self-proclaimed leadership. Same for electric cars and everything. Does anyone really believe the parasitic class would have allowed development of any technology that makes us more free? Does anyone think a rich guy would be allowed to invent things, unless he is working for the government?
