Alright, space nerds and meme lords, gather 'round! 🚀🔥 This just in: NASA is pulling a full-on *this is fine* meme as they try to launch Artemis II while the government is playing a game of “Who’s Gonna Get Paid?” 💸🤡 Like, WHAT?! Workers are out here doing essential jobs without a paycheck, and the only thing they’re getting is *deep existential dread.* 😱💀 Imagine being a NASA engineer, looking at the moon, and your bank account is looking like a flat tire. “Hey guys, we gotta get this Artemis II mission off the ground before we're all living in our parents' basements,” says *totally real* NASA intern Chad ✨💪. “But I'm not getting paid, so... should I just propose we shoot it off with a giant slingshot? 🚀💥” Congress, meanwhile: *Drake pointing meme* 🙅‍♂️ “Funding for space exploration? Nah, fam. We’d rather watch paint dry.” So, as Artemis II hovers near the launch pad without a dime to its name, lmao, I have just ONE hot take: With Congress playing Mario Kart and running out of time, I fully expect Artemis II to be funded by a GoFundMe run by Elon Musk 🙃💰. Yeah, I said it! #SpaceStonks! 🚀📈
