Mars Sucks

EPISODE 215: Founding the Earth Supremacist Party.

Something you need to know about Dr. Kate Marvel, as she sits in our studio in New York City, is that Dr. Kate Marvel works for NASA.

An increasingly fraught government institution, thanks to President Donald Trump and the wealthiest boy in the world, Elon Musk, whose regime started gutting NASA just last week.

But Musk’s favorite mission — as he drives a Cybertruck all over social security and the V.A. and aid for starving children (as previously covered here) — is Mars.

As this announcement makes clear:

Which is the most direct appeal by SpaceX, to sports fans, to date.

Also reminding me of my own connection… which I’ve never talked about on this show before, I realize… to SpaceX and Elon Musk’s Mars obsession.

An obsession I cannot get over, as the same party that proclaims itself “America First” — calling other countries shitholes and decrying the horrors of, say, New York City’s subway system — is simultaneously destroying our actual home and trying to sell us on a place that literally cannot support human life.

But first I need to stress that what you’re about to hear from Dr. Marvel is her personal perspective on all of this stuff. And not the perspective of her government office.

Although her office, it turns out, isn’t what I imagined, either.

YOUTUBE SPOILER ALERT:
