Yeah right. 'Cause he's a stay-at-home dad all year round and just flies to the moon in between for a two-week workation.

I find this claim of "he raises his two daughters" very dubious. I bet he does not have the time to raise that much.

I worked for ESA, I had lunch with 'just' ISS astronauts. Their schedule is packed. They need to be in constant training and if they're not, they have a lot of other duties. They're barely home. Bet that's even more true for astronauts flying to the moon.

I understand the PR, it's good to have role models out there, I hope his daughters understand. But...meh.

Somehow it's heroic to abandon your kids who you raise on your own after their mother died to strap your ass on a big ass bomb, to go to a giant rock we already found to be inhospitable and useless 50 years ago. But thanks to the dick measuring contest between billionaires and dictators these days who sell their dumb ideas with fancy CGI promo videos which are total bullshit, we're doing it all over again. It costs billions, while people can't pay their rent, food, medical bills.

So I get the downvotes if you're an American patriot who jerks off to the flag every day, because Americans don't seem to care about child welfare with all those school shootings and known pedophiles voted Into office. Otherwise it's just dumb to think this guy is somehow a hero for risking his kids losing both parents. Or that the crater thing makes up for it.

true

Can you blame uneducated brainwashed narcissistic fascists? Their feelings got hurt. Downvoting is the patriotic thing to do, some even go as far as a dillusional rant as a comment.
