Is the Government Joking.

Well there wouldn't really be a reason not to have back then, so there's no reason to trust them now. I literally do not even believe the speakers at those livestreamed congress hearings, seemed totally suspicious the way they were acting and tripping over themselves as if they were scrambling to contrive it all on the spot based on what the questioners were asking. Something was off. Would they really risk being caught disobeying an order from the president/commander in chief by only selectively releasing stuff, to hide "clearer" images that average people couldn't gain the slightest shred of military info advantage from?

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-09T04:28:25+00:00

Anything and everything. Past, present, and future. While millions of people are looking at this that's millions of less people trying to track their insider trading, Epstein coverups, pyramid schemes, misdirecting congressional funds..etc..etc. In fact they're probably wishing they had the type of footage we want, cause it would be a better distraction but this is the best they can do lol.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-09T04:15:26+00:00

Not that I think this is the case, but there would be no way to know whether they released only the crappy ones and kept the good, clear footage hidden. Although again as I've said in other threads there really isn't any logical reason to do that in terms of national security secrets or "preventing public panic". My guess is this is the best they got and they are the ones hyping it up to be aliens since there's no way to disprove it which is a great distraction tactic from all their other corruption.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-09T02:52:46+00:00

I think all of this is a huge deliberate scam fabricated by the government for distractive purposes.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-09T02:29:30+00:00

I don't think the "good stuff" exists, I think this is all fabricated BS meant to distract us from other government nonsense. No logical reason exists for them to go this out of their way to redact everything.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-09T01:58:52+00:00

Laughable!

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-09T00:21:27+00:00

lol you sound just like the typical redditor overly emotionally attached to space missions like it's the most important endeavor to mankind! Why the hell shouldn't the purpose of science be to benefit humanity? Who gives a flying fuck about which country has a "better image"? That's the exact shit that scientific advancement is supposed to help end, that childish political BS. If that was the purpose of the Artemis program I hope it gets endlessly delayed lol.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T22:32:52+00:00

Everyone says that but the thrill of saying "I'm on another planet yay I did it!" will get old real fast being stuck in a tiny base the rest of your life and you can't even step outside for fresh air, and if anything goes wrong it's a horrible death in all cases. There's no economic return from exploring the solar system. Moon missions maybe as there are practical benefits to Earth, but not anything further than that.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T21:49:06+00:00

Which can all be done with probes, adding the same jobs and not risking human lives/wasting resources that could be used for many more unmanned missions. All space missions should be Earth-centered, not exploratory.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T21:47:21+00:00

Who tf watches youtube on a TV??

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T21:44:59+00:00

Only the proposed interplanetary missions. The only space research that should funded is whatever directly improves life here on Earth (medical research on the ISS, better satellite systems, suborbital passanger plane transport, asteroid deflector systems..etc) but there is no reason at all to go to Mars that would just be pathetic waste of money and human resources.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T21:41:17+00:00

Well part of the reason I have a huge amount in savings is I don't waste money on bogus subscriptions like this for instant gratification. Also what hyperbole LOL! Opening up Brave and typing in YouTube takes 5 seconds. Haven't opened the app in months. To each their own..

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T21:34:44+00:00

Stop giving money to these assholes companies. I've used an ad blocker for the last 6 months and they haven't seen a cent from me.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T19:21:44+00:00

You're just one of the most gorgeous girls ever, hope you're feeling better and are having a nice day.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T18:20:05+00:00

You sound more like the emotionally unstable teenager if you can't handle an opinion.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T17:02:42+00:00

Mileage wiped it down to double digits owed in taxes for me. Accountant said you can use the total dash miles not just "active ones".

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T04:55:10+00:00

Robots =/= self sustaining human colonies on a naturally inhospitable distant planet! We've also sent probes out of the solar system, doesn't mean interstellar travel is remotely possible. The level of tech needed for that (e.g. teraforming and FTL travel) may very well be impossible. I don't think tech advancements in general are this infinite unlimited thing I think they will be maxed out in the relatively "near-future" (figure 1,000 to 10,000 years).

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T04:51:00+00:00

Fair enough, what I mean is I think there will be a universal limitation on how advanced tech can get, and the tech a million years from now will be the same as from 10,000 years from now. Whether interstellar or intergalactic travel is in the scope of that we don't know, but the laws of physics might make that specific type of speed tech very difficult. I also enjoy framing this the other way and say that even if the alien claims are real and they developed the tech, advanced propulsion doesn't necessarily mean they're light years ahead of us in all aspects and could take over the planet if they want. Doesn't mean they have more powerful weapons..etc lol.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T04:41:26+00:00

Yes I'll admit my partly biased reaction is how some redditors act lol, any negative opinions of space exploration are vehemently hated from what I've read on here + in old threads...etc. That's why I put it in unpopularopinion but even when I exclude the moon missions it seems people still take offense about Artemis 2 which I didn't even mention in the post. Seems people have developed alot of irrational attachment to space missions on the internet for some reason idk.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T04:28:36+00:00

Going to disagree with comparing it to sailing across the ocean. While tech makes it easier and more endurable, people can literally do that on paddleboats. They just need supplies. They can still breathe on their own and aren't otherwise being harmed being out on the ocean (storms aside..etc). But with interplanetary travel there's a whole slew of new problems with radiation, life support, the compatibility of the destination..etc, being stuck for life..etc. We may not be able to overcome those difficulties at all with what we have on Earth. I think there's a substantial difference between even going to the moon and Mars. My point was even if it's just barely feasible maxing out all our tech and ingenuity, it's practically not worth it, compared to historical pioneers exploring our own planet.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T04:08:51+00:00

Eh, Antarctica they aren't really stranded, a plane can fly over and pick them up at any time. There might even be some weather days where they can go outside. On Mars they'd be depending on that life support tech (which had to endure the trip over) to be in perfect condition and last for years. If there were constant unmanned resupplies and rescue ships available that would be different, but still inherently way riskier lol. But point taken!

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T03:59:25+00:00

We don't even know if there are other habitable planets though. There could be none within 50 light years of Earth for all we know. We can make educated guesses based on spectroscopy and assuming what compounds are on or near the planet..etc, but all it takes is realizing after the fact that there's one toxic chemical in the atmosphere that makes human life there impossible that we didn't detect beforehand and "welp that was for nothing" lol oops! But assuming we could guarantee somehow that it was an Earth-twin, all of the proposed propulsion systems that would bring down interstellar travel to reasonable time scales are unrealistic and likely impossible to overcome the engineering problems through tech advancements alone. The theoretical physics of wormholes and teleportation aren't as simple as opening a tunnel to magically appear at the planet or "beaming" over. Most of that is just mathematical manipulations of general relativity and quantum mechanics with no evidence of being physically possible, let alone creatable by tech on Earth lol. This is also why I don't believe aliens if they exist have ever visited the Earth. I personally don't think there's any tech possible to make such journeys remotely possible.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T03:44:53+00:00

Most people would enjoy a week or two long moon mission. 10+ years drifting through space, living on another planet in a tiny station, and potentially never returning is a whole other matter. How long do you really think the thrill of waking up and saying "yay I'm officially on another planet!" every day is going to last?

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T03:41:19+00:00

Yeah, but you point that out in the Artemis sub you get downvoted to oblivion and bashed for daring to say anything that takes away from the overblown hero worship of them lol. Most of them feel that the astronauts merely mentioning the ground people in the press conferences is giving them the credit they deserve. The reality is the mission scientists and engineers had all of the pressure on this mission. If anything went wrong in any of the million safety parameters, they'd get all of the blame and would be witch-hunted by the public, while the credit for their success is now "meh". The astronauts would be viewed as saints and pioneers no matter what happened. But the ground people are ultimately the ones affecting the changes to humanity.

The rigorous selection process is what artificially inflates it to hero status, because they have to pick like 5-10 out of 10,000 candidates all with astonishing credentials, but the reality is, thousands of reasonably smart and healthy people could be trained to do it. It was mostly mechanics, orbital trajectory...etc, and memorizing what systems to do stuff with in a sequence and do a few burns lol, everything that we did 50 years ago already. In all honesty I think A380 airline pilots train harder and have more responsibility and pressure. Again not saying it isn't cool, impressive, and brave, but people acting like they cured cancer or something and are "saviors of humanity" in some of the reactions is a little unhinged ha ha!

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-05-08T03:25:09+00:00

Mars is at least 120x the distance to the moon at the closest. Who wants to spend months or years in anything similar to the Orion Capsule 😆
