Under the current administration not only will we not be going to Mars, but even If we did and a astronaut was left behind. No way no how would current political parties in Congress, ( much less our current president) spend the money it would take to save said astronaut.

My real wonder would be if the majority of Americans would okay the amount of money it would cost to save that one man? I know Maga wouldn’t. But the rest? Just made we wondered. Now with Project Hail Mary coming to theaters and the excellent novel. Its the same question.

    Well I think the opposite.

    Saving that one single person is great propaganda. Donald would definitely throw one million people under the bus in order to save that single individual

    See the recent medicaid cut to make a few hundred billionaire friends happier/richer

      The recent Medicaid cut to make a few hundred billionaire friends happier/richer was terrible propaganda. Doesn’t that contradict your point?
