I wonder what country all the scientists will go to this time

It would only be fair for a large portion of NASA to go to Germany.

Mainly France. Macron invited a lot of scientists. Germany and other EU countries as well.

I expect nothing else from a Third World country, run by a tinpot dick tater-tot.

Boy they sure are owning the libs. “…peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind” is such a pansy-ass mission. If we do great stuff and just share it with everyone, no billionaires get any richer!

NASA was created enthusiastically by Eisenhower, a Republican war hero who had governed American-occupied Germany during WWII and was the first supreme commander of NATO just prior to becoming president. He unleashed an era of American greatness, including the entire interstate highway system which unlocked decades of future commerce growth and is named after him. If you had to name a single president who embodied the Greatness of which one might want to Make America embody Again, there are many strong arguments to be made that Eisenhower is the man.

He also signed the civil rights act and enforced school desegregation, in addition to warning the public about the rise of the Military Industrial Complex on his way out of office. In fact, he’s not at all what the nazifascist cheerleaders behind the worst president in American history would ever have thought of as great, but the MAGA slogan was a lie from the very beginning. It’s a very sad time to be an American.
