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.
I feel like if the Project Hail Mary crisis happened today, the response would be more like what happened in Don’t Look Up.
I watched that movie with the expectation of watching a comedy but I was left with the realization that it’s 100% what would happen nowadays
I watched the whole movie thinking it was about COVID. Afterwards, my wife mentioned it was about climate change. I suppose the reality is, we’re just awful at responding to any large threat.
Why I refused to watch it. See I didn’t see it as a comedy but a tragedy.
It’s definitely a tragedy. It has some humor to it, mostly things like poking fun at people who claim that the planet killing asteroid is going to boost the economy.
I think it’s with a watch.
Of all the stuff happening in PHM, Stratt is the most unrealistic part
