You're definitely coming off as an edge-lord for calling this inane. Today, I'm sure Twitter would melt because of it (you can't even have a shirt people don't like without causing outrage), but the country was very different back then. Plus these missions were more than a scientific endeavor, because it took more than science to put everything in place for it. It was the biggest accomplishment by us as a species, so they wanted mark it with what they considered the most important thing in their lives. To me it's cringey that you can't look at it objectively without taking some kind of offense to it. But hey, that's just me. |

And you're definitely coming off as an idiot using a term like "edge-lord".

I have no interest in Twitter - so unfortunately I don't know which particular chip on your shoulder you're rambling on about - but you should probably save your hot take on the issue for a relevant thread.
> but the country was very different back then.
Yes, instead of melting Twitter people merely filed lawsuits.
> Plus these missions were more than a scientific endeavor, because it took more than science to put everything in place for it.
Did it take God creating Earth in the first place?
> It was the biggest accomplishment by us as a species, so they wanted mark it with what they considered the most important thing in their lives.
So it's the biggest accomplishment by us as a species, but really all about what three guys in a can want?

Good for you.
