Supposedly, the Senate Launch System boondoggle is being killed, but not until 2027, by which time the Artemis III moon landing is supposed to happen. Since Artemis II (manned flight around the moon) has been delayed again, that's unlikely.

Ninth Space-X Starship/Super Heavy launch some time this month.

Where can I contribute to put all the senators in a spaceship and yeet them into outer space?

I propose we just yeet one of them and see if the rest clean up their act.
Is there something to suggest that they would actually be good at their jobs if they were to be better motivated? I’m not seeing it.
They've done wilder things to stay in office
They need to be yeeted pretty far out. There is already enough garbage orbiting the Earth as it is
