Artemis II is genuinely beautiful. And what are our American leaders doing?
1. Dissolving the National Forest Service
2. Slashing NASAs budget
3. Bombing Iran for…reasons
4. Debating whether to strip citizenship
5. Proposing an *increase* in the defense budget that is 25x NASA’s 2026 budget
6. Shredding our alliances
7. Gutting climate science and earth studies
8. Ending regulation of greenhouse gases

There is no way to square this. It’s just meeting something beautiful with brutal violence.

I'm so glad that Tan got to see the launch. NASA Socials are the best! I agree, Nick - it's a beautiful thing!
