“Private Astronaut”

By mike flugennockTuesday - April 22nd, 2025Categories: Economy, media, space, Trumpism

OK, US media – and aerospace-related trade media, I’m especially looking at YOU – it’s time to cut the goddamn crap and quit calling these knobs “private astronauts” and call them what they are: “rich-ass motherfuckers who can afford to have themselves shot into space”, especially this Isaacman clown who could afford to have himself shot into space twice, and on the second flight performed the most useless-ass excuse for an EVA ever. Even Alexei Leonov was out longer, and actually managed to gather significant scientific and engineering data while in the process of getting back into the spacecraft without accidentally killing himself.

But yeah, sure… the standard-issue tech entrepreneur who has near-zero training or experience in aerospace engineering or program management or flying high-performance jet aircraft at all but who made himself a massive pile off a payment processing company he supposedly started as a teenager in his parents’ basement (your standard tech-bro rags-to-riches saga) and so was able to pay to have himself shot into space twice and who is best buds with Elon Musk is, according to the Donster, the ideal choice for NASA Administrator. Yeah, that’s right — the goddamn “private astronaut”.

We’re fucked on Earth, and fucked in space.

GOP + DNC = ZFG

If you’re a Liberal or Progressive who, at this point, is still furiously bitching about why the Democrats won’t “do something” about all this, then you’re as stupid as you look.

Can You Hear Us NOW? (Happy New Year ’25)

“…the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it…”

—Luigi Mangione, Statement of 12.04.2024 as posted by Ken Klippenstein

For some time now, even the clods on MSNBC and in the Democratic Party have acknowledged that yes, there is a class war going on. I’d just been wondering how long it was going to be before the working class got off its ass and started shooting back.

Cripes, man… how many years now — since at least the first Trump Regime — has the U.S. Left been pummeling us silly with academic jargon like “praxis” and hardly ever at all actually showing us “praxis” in action (as it were)?

Now, you vegan-potlucking clowns want to talk praxis? Luigi served us up some praxis, sizzlin’ hot and spicy.

Happy New Year, MUTHAFUCKAAAHHHHS.

Welcome…! (Instant Karma no.2)

I wish I’d screenshot or bookmarked the tweet I spotted on Facebook featuring a grinning Kay-Kay and Netanyahu shaking hands, with a headline announcing the latest amount of my tax money being shipped off to fund a genocide in Palestine. Not that it matters that much these days, as it’s always such an insanely stonking amount of cash that remembering the actual goddamn number doesn’t seem that important anymore.

Luckily, though, I did save this headline from the Washington Post a couple of days ago, about how the Small Business Administration’s disaster relief fund is already tapped out. Tough luck, MAGA Boy, the money to rebuild your surf shop just went to bomb a bunch of people living in tents.

What goes around, America…
