must've seen about 10 variations of that comment last night on Twitter, especially coming from right-leaning people. Part of this whole movement to declare that everything real is actually fake, and vice-versa, i guess. Project Blue Beam and the New World Order.

I’m conflicted.

On the one hand, these days I do kind of want everything related to Musk to crash and burn in embarrassing fashion.

On the other hand, I’m a space exploration nerd and this thing needs to work for humans to get back to the moon in any kind of reasonable time-frame. Hmmm…
