MTG's line that "There is no plan to save the world" absolutely hit me: last week I started reading a book about QAnon (The Quiet Damage by Jesselyn Cook) and the first chapter was titled after one of the conspiracy's gateway videos.

MAN what is this. At the end of our week my teammates and I all said that one of the best parts of Space Camp had been the history lessons on NASA's human spaceflight missions and Russia's space program. And now we're teaching them about "commercial pioneers". Like Elon Musk.
