Holy shit, what an idiot of an astronaut to go make a speech at the RNC.
Thing is, some astronauts are insane, they're not all great people. Must be one of them.

Legit hasn't changed since the early 90's props to her.
The saddest thing I've ever seen is when the head of NASA had to explain why they funded climate research.
Buzz Aldrin doesn't believe in climate change. But that's more ignorance than him being a bad person.

Native Americans "Oh geez, what's next?"
Gerrymandering, pretty much. They spent big to control key seats in contested states, and used that to make sure minority votes largely didn't count.

That's bullshit. We need every astronaut on deck when the invasion occurs.

It depresses the hell out of me that we landed on the moon fifty years ago, and it's been almost 10 since we gave up on the space shuttle. My father assumed we'd be to mars by 1980 and have colonized the moon by the 90s. Space exploration is actually a good example of America shrugging its shoulders. Were it not for the rover projects things would be almost entirely miserable. Yesyes, money, whatever. NASA is the sort of agency that projects American badassery around the globe, though. American do love something to brag about!
If you told people that the biggest advances right now are by the weirdo hippy guy who owns the electric car company they'd largely cringe. That should be NASA territory, dammit!
Edit: Wait, WHAT? She's calling for an increase in government funding in a thing?!!@#(*!)# Holy crap! She knows this is entirely at odds with the rest of the convention, right?

Is the equivalent of Tim Tebow at quarterback? Third string linebackers amped as shit before pregame hoping coach lets them get in for a play so that it can take their career to new heights.
The Native Americans that saw the pilgrims then said...."please leave"

Partially because in most states the ruling party gets to decide how voting district lines are drawn, so once a party gets a majority at the state level, it's easy to keep it.

IIRC, GOP generally is much better on space funding and exploration. Probably because of the weapon implications, but I remember them being much better. Launch, control, training, and production frequently are in TX and FL with some other southern states.
Vs. many cuts under Dem leadership.
I could be wrong, though.

Seriously. Space exploration has been privatized at this point and I don't remember seeing a single emphasis on space exploration in the Republican party platform.
Bunch of nonsense...

"Look! We have a Hillary too!"
Thank you for the explanations, I figured it was something along those lines.
The Dems know how to raise a shitload of money every 4 years, why can't they do that and get the vote out for midterms?

Alright rant engaged.
This party is a friken disgrace. They want tot make America a place "for all" but are a bunch of ignorant straight white rich assholes complaining about equality when they treat every minority and the lgbtq community like aliens. They dont want advamces in technology and are a bunch of nostalgic idiots(like genwunners for pokemon who hate new and change and more equality).
This party is a disgrace and doesnt truly represent American values.

I was kind of thinking the same thing...
Open all the mass relays? Have a human led council? Use the Reapers technology to make America great again?
But seriously tho, as cheesy as it is I'm happy space exploration is getting some coverage
