The real question is, are they committed to diversity, equity and inclusion?
If so, then the success of the mission is irrelevant. The primary goal was already achieved.
(This is sarcasm for those who can't tell)
Well, some suckers decided to put family member's ashes on this thing, and it sounds like it's going off into the wild yonder. I wonder how much they paid to send Sally to the moon, only to find out she's going to nowhere at a really slow pace.
Get the gold colored foil though. We want this thing to look real sharp.
LOL
Could be comms.
LOL, ashes got into the propulsion system. Hey dumb fucks - donβt put human ashes on the spacecraft
I like how the van allen belt isn't an issue anymore
Or perhaps it is and it fried their shit
Damn that sucks for them, I watched them build part of it.
