Double plus yes.

I was quite little (very early GenX) during the Apollo missions, but a precocious little space geek, absolutely obsessed with it. For so much of my life since I have missed the sense of excitement and positive futuring that imbued the US space program. The confident belief that humans were capable of innovating GOOD THINGS, dreaming BIG dreams.

It was the MSM that shat in the face of the US space program. (((They))) refused even to cover the missions at some point. Too busy selling mouthwash, racial conflict, and war. At just the point where those media could have played a role in making people's minds and spirits better, they chose to take the low path. And kept it up, and kept it up, and got worse and worse...

Then one day this Sun King came down a golden escalator...a wizard who had mastered the media's every trick and weapon...and used it against themselves.
