I Hope So Much That Trump's Legacy Is He Sent The First Humans To Mars

WaPo - To the long list of ambitious goals he has set, no matter how far-fetched they might seem, President Trump on Monday added this: placing humans on Mars.

In a dramatic call from the White House with a pair of astronauts at the International Space Station, Trump urged NASA to speed up its exploration timeline to get humans on Mars “at worst, during my second term.”

Trump noted that he has “many friends” involved in commercial space exploration. “Many American entrepreneurs are racing into space,” Trump said.

During his call with the astronauts, landing humans on the surface of Mars seemed to be top-of-mind for Trump.

“Who’s ready to go to Mars up there?” Trump asked Whitson and Fischer.

Fuck the Wall. Fuck repealing ObamaCare. Fuck the other 100 promises Trump made while he was campaigning and the other 100 he has made since. If this dude wants a legacy besides being the goofiest president we’ve ever had, he should put man on Mars. It would cancel out everything else he will have ever done. All the sexual assault stuff, all the global warming is a hoax things, all the hating minorities mumbo jumbo, poof! Gone into thin air. He will only be known as the president who took humans to Mars.

And I love that he wants it during his second term. That’s the kicker. He wants humans on Mars within the next 7 years. He has no idea if it’s plausible, but the cool thing is, this isn’t the first time it’s come up:

I love it. He’s sneaky obsessed with mars. It has to be why NASA “discovers” a new planet that “might sustain life” seemingly every week now. Notice how many blogs we’ve done about “new planets” recently? It’s because NASA knows Trump loves that shit and they want to keep him happy. They want to keep their budget from being slashed. It’s brilliant.
