Trillions of dollars…
I FUCKING WISH trillions… Jesus…
It’s only been my entire damn life that I hear “NASA budget cut, NASA budget cut, this program, that program, cut…” Hell they’re cutting one of the only x-ray telescope programs we have at all…
At first I thought “into a museum? How you gonna get it down in one piece?”, but then reading on …
It’s funny how he thinks though
Hmm, hectare-sized water tank, a production team to create a continuous, live video feed that matches what’s happening on Earth, immense amount of effort at rigging (and rotoscoping) to simulate low-gravity, all the effort to keep the conspiracy quiet? If I were NASA, I think I would take a bunch of shortcuts, and locate the fake ISS set in Earth orbit. It’d be a lot easier.
No different than a crazy person handling you a letter about how the government abducted them to give to aliens for chemtrail research. You start by not trying to have a rational discussion with the irrational. You cannot reason someone out of a position they had to reject reason multiple times to get themselves to.
It would be extremely cool to have the the real iss a museum if it’s at all possible
Would definitely be cheaper to just build a 1:1 recreation on earth and skip the logistical nightmare of safely deorbiting something so big.
Circa 3025 AD. Tourists arrive in low Earth orbit and spend a day on an ISS replica. Next they take a replica space shuttle to the ground, where they transfer to a DC-3 prop plane. That lands them at a train station, where they board a steam powered train. That carries them to a station where they get on a stage coach. The last ride is a canoe down the Colorado river.
NGL, that sounds like a great vacation
