Kudos to India for even trying. While they are trying to put a probe on the moon, we have a President going through dementia arguing about a 2 week old weather forecast.

What value do you think your comment added to the discussion?

Perspectives on evolution vs. devolution? But agreed, we are digressing.

It’s a bit of a false dichotomy, really. It isn’t as if the US is behind on accessing the moon or space in general.

Nothing more than distracting partisan virtue signaling.

I was commenting in the context of the original remark. fwiw, personally I'd say the emperors are wearing no clothes on either side of the US polarized partisan divide, but then again I don't think the rest of the world is far behind and catching up fast in the race to the 'post truth' society.

And I'm commenting in response to your remark on "devolution." There is none, insofar as I can see. It's a pointless partisan jab not rooted in reality.

Well, we are talking forging weather maps with a sharpie, but I'll leave everyone to draw their own conclusions (pun intended).

On the contray, I am looking forward to the Space Force (The President has just unveiled the Space Command.) [1]
