how is gamestop supposed to go to the moon, or bitcoin, in a realistic way that vlc can legitimately compete with?

Let me explain the joke.

Crypto bros and gamestop stock trader always talk about how their shit is going to the moon. They mean that the value of their trading object is increasing incredibly.

VLC is now physically very close to the moon on a laptop from NASA.

The joke is that VLC is closer to the moon than those traders promises that crashed.

Similar etymological root possibly.
