Nobody cares but I'm talking about this anyway

the what space station

The lunar gateway

The ISS part 2 except it's in orbit around the moon
Doesn't really make much sense anyway to have a lunar space station when you can just have a moon base which is both way cooler and you also can rely on some of the materials that the lunar surface is made of instead of constantly needing cargo resupplies as often, which ends up being super expensive

They're onto nothing </3. Wasted billions for this.

Same logic as scientists in France spending tens of billions of dollars to stare at some random particle that won't exist again for thirty nanoseconds.

It is kind of sad how little people in the government seem to care about how taxpayer money is spent.

Yes. Like how the US Govt. doesn't give a SHIT about lives in Louisiana being ruined after the 2010 BP DeepWater Horizon oil spill that outright caused thousands of deaths, birth deformities, cancer and respiratory diseases.

Why? Because it makes them more money.

Idea of a moon station is super boring anyways, we already have the ISS and a base on the luner surface would be easier and more convenient anyway

Well i mean the ISS is super old and it's only a matter of time before a part of its critical infrastructure fails

ture

is that the second iss or is that still being built

by second iss i mean the one replacing the current iss

Technically we won't really have a second iss, it'll just spiritually live on in the form of NASA paying companies to put their own astronauts on their private space stations. But it was the closest thing we had to a second ISS

BULLSHIT

kill everyone
make a second iss omg you have enough money to implement all this anti-immigration shit but not this?

i just said theyre using the money that the lunar gateway was using to make a moonbase instead
basically an iss directly on the moons surface

okay good
