You wouldn\u2019t believe how much I was into space when I was a kid. Completely nuts about it. Ariane 4, the future Ariane 5, the future shuttle<\/a> everything was ready in the 80s to dream about that. If I had had the internet I would have tried to make something in this area. What not to love about space, especially for me.<\/p>\n


Not the first black man to doodle about that, apparently.<\/em><\/p>\n

I had learned how rockets are powered (liquid this, liquid that mix and BOOM) and Jean-Loup Chr\u00e9tien<\/a> was so inspiring. Oh, before driving rockets you need to fly fighter aircrafts? AWESOME.<\/p>\n

That was when I was a kid and had a blank canvas in my mind and the feeling that the entire world is aiming for up there, right? RIGHT?<\/p>\n

Today I don\u2019t give a fuck about space. Fuck space.<\/p>\n

Of course we can do amazing thing like sending a robot on wheels with a ZERO error margin far from Earth I know we can. I know we can master perfection despite all the philosophy BS. But it\u2019s not beautiful when we are incapable of doing things this way here, when it\u2019s about us because of the incredible, embarrassingly huge amount of waste of money and resource every fucking day. When we try to solve our humanity problems, we suck. That ruins everything for me. It\u2019s all bitter in my mouth.<\/p>\n

Imagine if this human power, this focus and dedication, this money were used to fix shit on earth: everything that goes wrong down here would be resolved in a year. Maybe less. That\u2019s what makes me feel like \u201cfuck your red rocks\u201d because during that time a white dude shot Sikh people dead because of how they look, people argue over chicken and gay rights and a young 21 year old black man got shot in the head in the back of a police car. And so on. It\u2019s 2012 and only white people dream about space, go on the Twitter and watch. A large majority doesn\u2019t give a fuck about that stuff because we have to deal with stupid shit that shouldn\u2019t exist anymore. I mean, we\u2019re sending robots 60 million kilometers away at the same time. It hurts.<\/p>\n

Science, NASA and professors, give me affordable highly efficient solar panel, give me affordable highly efficient fuel cells give me affordable highly efficient water filtering systems give me things that we all over the world would use. But you can\u2019t. The US will not pay for things making the world a better place for no profit, the US are barely willing to make you all dream with a little car on a red planet. I\u2019m sure Lonnie G Johnson\u2019s JTEC engine<\/a> is getting shut down by every possible entity. Profit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exhausting. The waste, Jesus. The waste.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, it\u2019s like the Olympics. So much bullshit about how \u201cwe\u2019re all together, to infinity and beyond\u201d. Solve 40 year old social issues for real before bragging that shit in my face every 4 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
