I would have been teary eyed too. Travelling as far as you can and still hear that asshole come out of the speakers. I would demand a refund.
They obviously talked about this in advance, and decided that they would let him talk, because they didn’t have a choice, but they wouldn’t engage. Answer his questions with as little as possible, and don’t ask anything back. Don’t give them anything he can use as propaganda, no kissing his ass, praising him for his great leadership in getting America back in space, etc.
They were so committed to the bit, that when he ran out of steam, they just let him twist in the wind.
Glorious.
I’d like to commend Trump for lowering himself to talk to a woman and shudder A Black
He’s not black, he’s a “low IQ individual.” That’s the phrase he ALWAYS uses when referring to a black person.
Don’t forget “thugs”
Funnily enough. There’s no woman nor person of color farther away from him than these two.
Lucky, lucky people
Every single shot or thumbnail I see of Victor Glover just looks like he’s tired of this shit and everything he’s putting up with.
couldn’t fit them all in the top comment
spoiler
Thats called Resting Bitch Face. Its more common than you think
I will say I found plenty of pics of him seeming to enjoy himself when looking for the past ones I saw. The best one is probably this one
ironically it’s from a video about how they’re returning home though lol
Also, Trump referring to Jeremy Hansen:
And the 4 brave astronauts of Artemis II are our modern-day, you really are modern-day pioneers, all of you. And one of them happens to be a neighbor. You know who that is, right? You have a special person over there, a neighbor. And, uh, we like our neighbor.
‘4 brave astronuts’
Will ICE be waiting for them?
The struggle is real.
Did the ‘enlightened, very intelligent, definitely not MAGA’ astronauts use their platform to say something about Gaza or the war in Iran?
They all jarheads lol
当然
What an idiotic move it would be to potentially piss off a powerful man-child leading a nation while you’re dependent on an agency of that nation to get back to civilization.
I literally can’t think of a worse position to speak up against Trump than on a NASA mission in space. Maybe the men’s toilet on one of how rallies? But you’d probably easily survive that.
Surely the opportunity to make such an important message to a global audience would trump the personal safety of 4 guys careers to anyone with half a conscious.
Can you think about their careers tho! No choice but to toe the line like good jarheads.
That’s how you turn Artemis into an IPBM project. You have to tow the line in situations such as this.
Bone apple tea moment.
*toe the line
As in stand with the toe of your boots along a line in the dirt with the other soldiers of your faction
Ah, thanks for pointing that out
It’s not just careers on the line here. And that to say something just so all the people who need to hear it immediately get back into the brainwash machine again 5 minutes later to listen to thousands of hours of billionaire-controlled media? That’s worth it?
What’s he going to do, cancel their mission in space? The whole thing is programmed, they’ll just come home like always. Do you really think that if Trump screamed “I hate them! Leave them in space to die!” that the NASA operatives would just go along with it - “Sorry guys, the boss says No. It was nice knowing you?”
Of course not. They would completely ignore that order, and bring them home anyway. And if somehow that wasn’t possible, we aren’t the only people in space. It would be a great propaganda coup for some other country to go up and rescue them instead.
They had all the leverage in the world to put in some words againt their god-king but chose not to. Imagine Trump ordering the NASA to leave them stranded there because he didn’t like what they said, that would be something the eurogoons couldn’t even ignore and opens up the possibility that anyone else, let’s be real only China could, rescues them and scores a huge diplomatic win.
Completely agree with what you said.
it was the best platform they will ever have to speak up against Trump, if they didn’t do it it’s because they’re aligned 🤷♀️ , which i know they are because all but one are jarheads.
Hard to hide honest reactions
In space, no one can hear your cringe
… but we can see it.
“oh you’re breaking up i think we’re going through a tunnel”
After 30 seconds of akward silence they asked if the connection was okay, it was beautiful to see
That parts not that unusual. The really funny part to me is when they asked for a com check, Trump responded that he was still there. Usually when we ask for a com check someone says they can hear you, coms are fine, something like that. That’s my experience with it anyway.
“Wait I think there is someone outside the airlock, we will go and check!”
Maybe they’ve got some Farscape episodes on their computers. Probably watching them enviously.
Apparently they just let Trump talk and didn’t respond for a full minute and Trump was like “anyway you’re the best” and they still didn’t respond and Trump’s people ended the call.
The astronauts gave him the silent treatment. They could clearly hear him.
Yes they were actually very polite, they knew they were speaking with a demented narcissist.
Pedophile
Why not both?
I watched it live, they did respond to his direct questions, but at some point Trump went into a monologue that didn’t end in a question, and they didn’t say anything back, keeping a silence going for an awkward amount of time until Houston asked if they are still on the line and they confirmed that yeah they heard everything. And said nothing else.
Nah other way around. The astronauts asked a NASA administrator if they are still on the line or if there was a handover. Then Tump replied “I am, yes, I am”.
This is fucking amazing
He’s asking how young the girls in space are, and they’re thinking about all of the Sci-Fi movies where the Earth blows up and astronauts have to watch it go.
All the sci-fi movies? Can I get some recommendations?
Not a movie, but a music video for a great song
Woah. Thanks for this.
I enjoyed that, thanks!
I would not have clicked if not for this comment.
Did you enjoy too???
I did. I even downloaded.
Such a banger song and video.
Dr. Stone technically counts
I have a book sort of like this. SevenEves by Niel Stephenson.
The book blows up (or gets hit or something). The dist will make earth uninhabitable within a few years. I want to say Seven Years. I remeber the SevenEves title has many possible “meanings” and I think years to collapse was one.
They basically work to get as many people as they can, which isn’t many, into space working with the small crew of a (larger than ISS but not huge) space station. Including all of the logistics of food and housing.
They also have to manage it in a way as not to cause a panic because billions of people, will die. Because they literally cannot send everyone.
The first two thirds are pretty good, the lattwr third jump to the future and fallout and I hated that part, but the first part is good.
Like most of Neals books I found this book long and meandering, so I dropped it after a while, just wish he could better edit and pace his books. I enjoyed snow crash but every book of his I’ve tried since I could not finish.
I agree with this.
If you want someone with similar style stories that is less wandering, try Daniel Suarez.
I.S.S. is based on that, there was a Cloverfield spin off that was pretty similar, too. I’m sure there are a bunch more, and I’d be interested to see them, too.
That’s literally the plot of The Shining. It’s in Stanley Kubrick’s hidden messages from the fake moon that he invented or something.
“DEFCON-4” leaps to mind (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087130/).
Yeah the NASA twitch stream had to swap to emojis only.
🤡🤡🤡

I need a clip desperately of the chat
You can say an awful lot with emojis. Is there a transcript somewhere?
Brand new sentence
