I thought he was making a reference to Trump or that drug addicted Rushbo that leads their party.

Yes. If we had a president that wasn't so obsessed with taking over the health insurance industry and destroying peoples lives and livelihoods, perhaps we could focus on important things.

Without a strong military, they win. Say goodbye to your nice life.
Wait, I thought these tooth missing, moonshine drinking gun owners were going to protect us?

Leftists are the real nut jobs in our society, not the right.
Isn't it Republicans who constantly whine about spending? Now you want to spend us into oblivion just because China put a robot on the moon?

Why would getting to the moon be so important? We have already been there, and we put a man on the moon, not a robot.

Seriously. They sent an unmanned mission to the moon. The U.S. has sent four unmanned missions to Mars.

...and 45 years ago at that! The right wing glorifies China and idolizes Putin these day just because Obama is the POTUS.

Good for them. Although they are decades behind, I hope this serves as a kick in the pants. The complacency we currently show in science and technology isn't beneficial to the country. Also, many current products and innovations exist because of space exploration.

Congrats to China. An ancient and once great civilization, after too long of a lull, on the verge of doing great things again.
