    Relevant context (probably): Buzz Aldrin seems to be/have been a bit of a dick.

        He endorsed Trumps second term, saying "we need a proven, serious, tested leader for president ".

        So he’s either lost his intelligence with age, gained racism, or was always a dick.

          That’s so weird, because Trump essentially cut funding to NASA and now the Artemis Program is completely in jeopardy. But even have to be cancelled altogether.

          Buzz Aldrin voted for that.

            tbf NASA, like many other US federal agencies, has been a hollowed out shell designed for the express purpose of funneling public funds to private interests for decades now.

          Aldrin is a staunch Republican. He was going to vote GOP no matter what. To that end, he’d say anything to get them into the White House.

          That said, he might have truly believed that Biden (who hadn’t yet stepped down) wasn’t any of those things.

          C3 Corvette Stingray is the most beautiful production sports car ever sold. You can’t change my mind

            Beautiful yes, made in the 70s? Also yes. C4 had the power that the C3 shoulda had if it weren’t for the gas crisis at the time.

              I guess there’s people who really care about the performance, but I’d think it more like jewellery

              That said, I’m not much of a car person

              That’s beautiful for sure, but it’s not a stingray
