    Well, it’s too late now, but if you ever see eye protection that says “NASA approved“ it’s definitely lying (NASA doesn’t certify commercial items) and probably not protective.

    The correct response would have been, “Except for you. You can look at it however long you’d like.”

      I mean, the Congresscritter is a fascist who supported DeSantis before bending the knee to Trump. As a former doctor and Marine, who had seen first hand the problems with the American medical system in general, the government response to Covid, the VA’s treatment of his supposed fellow veterans, etc.

      What, he’s supposed to be mad at the accuracy?

      I work with a guy who used to work for NASA. He makes sure to state that he’s a mathematician regularly.

      I believe he referred to the confederates loss in the Civil War a “shame”, and I don’t believe has ever spoken negatively about Nazis. He really really wants to get mad at me, and then I show him that Trump is on Epstein’s list and loudly proclaim exactly what it means - Trump raped kids.

      Seeing the hamsters get ground into mincemeat in his brain was interesting. I’m sure he’s already purged it, or it’s fake news, or whatever.

        I think they were talking about Werner Von Braun. Who was an actual Nazi designer of the V2 rocket I think. And led our early space efforts.

          As was said- “he aimed for the stars and hit London.”

          Or as Tom Lehrer sang- “‘when the rockets go up, who cares where they come down? That’s not my department,’ said Wernher Von Braun.”

          I was just connecting how it doesn’t surprise me that NASA has nazis working for them, based on my experience with this guy.

            Yeah, actually seems like a fair bit of the people that build things for NASA live in the Deep South. And plenty of them I’m sure come up rooting for the wrong side of the Mason Dixon.

              Alabama and Florida are where most of NASA is based. There’s also JPL in California, but the rockets are usually assembled in Huntsville, Alabama and, of course, take off from Cape Kennedy in Florida.

    They say that the super book smart are a little out of touch with reality. My uncle and dad worked for NASA. They had a coworker that clipped their toenails, kept them, and munched on them like a snack. Someone also dumped in the stairwell.
