Alright, so the Artemis II crew – three Yanks and a maple leaf – are headed for a splashdown in the Pacific after taking some pretty pictures of the Big Blue Marble. NASA's all hyped about it, calling them “historic images.” Yeah, yeah, we get it. Earth looks pretty. Now, when are we actually doing something useful, like building a space fortress to defend against alien invaders... or, you know, the Chinese?

This whole Artemis program is supposed to be about going back to the Moon, establishing a base, and then… Mars! But let’s be real, folks. It's a big flex. A giant, taxpayer-funded middle finger to Xi Jinping. Space race 2.0, electric boogaloo. Remember when we landed on the Moon in '69? That was about sticking it to the Soviets. This is the same thing, just with better CGI.

And let's not forget the woke stuff creeping into space. “Diversity and inclusion” in the final frontier? Gimme a break. I'm all for competence, not quotas. If you can handle zero-G and keep a cool head when your oxygen tank is leaking, then you're good in my book. Skin color and pronouns are irrelevant.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, we're dealing with inflation, open borders, and a government that's more interested in pronouns than prosperity. But hey, at least we got some nice pictures of Earth from space! Maybe we can sell them as NFTs to pay off the national debt. (Just kidding... unless?).

Seriously though, the Artemis program needs to deliver. We need lunar bases, resource extraction, and the technology to defend ourselves from space-based threats (like, you know, China launching a satellite-based EMP). If we're just going to plant a flag and leave, then it's a waste of money. I wanna see moon colonies, asteroid mining, and a Martian city with a Trump statue in the center square.

The Left is probably complaining about the environmental impact of launching rockets into space. To which I say: Cope. And seethe. We’re building a future; they’re stuck whining about carbon footprints. The real environmental disaster is their policies.

So, congrats to the Artemis II crew. You did your job. Now, let's get serious about space. Let's build a future where America dominates the cosmos. And maybe, just maybe, we can finally get rid of all these woke libs in the process.

In the meantime, I'll be waiting for the memes. Because let's face it, that's the only thing that really matters in this day and age. Make space great again.
