      Arthur Chu Retweeted The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

      I need all you space fans out there to accept that the reason we went to the Moon in 1969 and we aren't going back now is that the Apollo rockets were a side effect of building nuclear-tipped ICBMs and they were intended as a live demonstration of how easily we could nuke Moscowhttps://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI/status/1306748423404687360 …

      "Why didn't we build a permanent Moon base after Apollo" Because that would have cost an immense amount of money while doing comparatively little to terrify our enemies?

      US: "This cost seventy bazillion pounds." USSR: "Hey look! They're just bouncing around... one of them forgot to seal the other hatch... seven of them are now dead!"

      There's a lot that's interestingly fucked up about Soviet spaceflight But one of the things about them was that they didn't try to whitewash that this was a military competition nearly as much as we did with all our guff about "peaceful exploration"

      The leader of a cosmonaut mission did, in fact, carry a sidearm just as matter of course, in case something happened to them after they landed

          That was more to do with wildlife though, because their capsules landed in the Siberian wilderness rather than the ocean
