Directly? I do not think it means what you think it means.

Hate the guy all you want, even for this, but don't try and juice it another 20% with emotional words that are ultimately incorrect.

In the 80's and 90's I was be inspired by every NASA plan they announced--new celestial body being explored, new type of craft, new rocket, new telescope. In the naughts and early 10's I still had a sense of hope and aww but was becoming jaded. Now when I see announcements like these I actually get mad.

Layoff everyone on the PR team and just do shit. When you are 95% of the way there and actually have some sort of prototype, announce a hard plan and details. No interviews, no artist renditions of shit that's never going to happen, no congratulating yourself for ideas and hopes, just get shit done--that's the best PR. James Webb and was a constant massive let down because of its continuously slipping deadlines. Years and years late and billions over budget....but then...it actually happened and it was amazing.

NASA, quit setting our expectations if you never meet them. Just do shit and let us be amazed when it happens.

Isn't the PR team really the "fundraising" team? E.g. this PR is all so that politicians continue to fund NASA and without all of this NASA would be in a much worse budget position.

I love that we ruined our escape character in language.

We now need a new way to convey to listeners that our words need to be taken literally. Perhaps the VBA method and just double the 'literally's:

I took a flaming shot of tequila and my mouth is literally literally on fire

The escape term is "actually". "My mouth is actually on fire".

I caught on but was more offended by referring to it as 'maple syrup'

You mean the primary where Biden ran virtually unopposed and then Harris got the nomination?

'Walkable' has been heavily influenced by the car culture we live in.

Too many, crossing an intersection with a traffic light makes that commute unwalkable. In my suburbia, going from one shop to another 5 doors down requires driving.

Fast forward to blackjack and hookers.

No, people who do it are to blame.

Feel free to use a word counter.

The post above yours has about 286 words after the sentence you quoted. Quite ironic for you to criticize the grandparent when you're being even lazier.
