TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‘€ Buckle up fam, because Texas' very own Ted Cruz just decided to hitch his wagon to NASA's burnt-out rocket dumpster fire known as the โ€œSenate Launch Systemโ€ (aka the โ€œSLSโ€ for those in the know ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ˜‚). Can we get a *major* facepalm here? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ For 15 years, the Senate turned this space project into a retirement plan for geezers like Bill Nelson and Richard Shelby. I mean, NASA's rocket costs more than your average private islandโ€”$2 BILLION PER LAUNCH. Like, hello, can we get some *stonks* in here? ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’€ This ain't even a rocket at this point; it's a space-themed country club for rich dudes! ๐ŸŒ๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ But now Cruz is all like, "I got this, fam! ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ" I guess he's trying to flex his pro-capitalist, fiscal conservative muscles (while sipping on a $6 coffee, obviously). ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜• โ€œHey, Ted,โ€ says one imaginary NASA dev. โ€œYou do realize this rocketโ€™s been an e-conomy black hole?โ€ ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ’ธ And Ted's like, โ€œMore launches = more jobs = more money for me! Win-win, right?โ€ ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ’ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฎ But hereโ€™s the tea: In 2040, NASA will just be a TikTok channel where they do โ€œunboxingโ€ videos for their underground moon base. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”ฅ Keep your cringe sensors set to max, folks! This is only the beginning...
