For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B.

Both would still only cost 3/4 of what Meta blew on Mark Zuckerberg’s obviously bad ideas because nobody would tell him they were stupid because he’s worth over $200 billion because he doesn’t pay his share of taxes

it's cool how every day there's a news story about the CDC changing vaccine recommendations and it's right next to a news story about how a kid died from a disease that last killed in 1893 but any reporter that tries to connect the two gets fired by a venture capitalist for taking up ad space
