We're not solving peace in the Middle East on this one.
It's a layer cake of awful.
It's a layer cake of shit.
Yes.
Yeah, it's nice to see kind of the U.S.

I hope people felt hope, you know.
I mean, even in the 70s, in the late 70s, when they still went to the moon,
people apparently the mood was that people kind of over it then yeah they were kind of like jaded about it because we did this yeah but we haven't we haven't done a moon trip in so long and uh you know it was easy to kind of be extremely cynical about it considering how bad things are on earth and how much money you know is the we need here to do stuff
and you see them kind of firing a rocket and you're like, what are you guys doing?
We're doing this again.
And I got to say, I'm not one of those people.
I'm very inspired by it.
I think watching NASA at work is watching America at its best.
when it's being aspirational and inspirational.
And I feel like that's America at its best when it inspires people to literally reach for the stars in whatever industry, whatever that means for you personally, in your industry or your self-expression.
In this case, it was literally reaching for the stars and seeing people do it.
And I guess every astronaut is woke because they were in space going like, the Earth is beautiful and...
Yeah, introspective and like, what are nations?
And, you know, we're all on this rock in space floating.
