  • It always blows my mind when someone suggests cutting funding for NASA, because it takes very little research into the space shuttle program, (which was designed literally because they needed a cheaper way to get into space) to understand that they were literally sending people up in giant metal sarcophagi practically held together by duct tape and ear wax. Then you had the fucking higher ups (cough cough Reagan Administration) who pushed for the launch of these actual fucking deathtraps under conditions that everyone involved knew were reckless and put the lives of the crew at risk.

    And that, kids, is why you saw a space shuttle break apart on National television.

    Kinda strayed away from my point, but this subject really pisses me off and it’s even worse to know that the situation has not improved in the slightest.
