"2025: during the great war against the gays and windfarms, the president successfully strikes a masterful blow to his enemies by closing the twitter account of a Mars robot"

Striking at made-up enemies

[–] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Still tilting at windmills.

The only robots you can have are the ones approving that questionable drug, sorry

Closing down Nazi-Shitter-accounts is a win, though?

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not if they continue using the Nazi propaganda machine.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well - NASA is going down in budgets basically everywhere. Sadly, this is mostly self-inflicted. A lot of NASA personnel are lifelong republicans (MSFC)

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Sure, if it continued communicating elsewhere. This is just going dark, right?

What, you expect people to read?! Smh

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, they are just consolidating down to a single twitter account so they can fire a communications person or two

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 2 months ago

That's better than it going away completely, at least.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Unfortunaly, but a popular shitter-account closing if NASA losing budgets is inevitable, that's still a tiny light in the dark.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They’re still using the Nazi rockets so not really.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Well yeah, it's NASA.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately that is indeed the far bigger problem.

Bad times for science with Trump

Bad times for ~~science~~ intelligence with Trump

Okay which of you space nerds wants to be a hero? This handle is going up for grabs on any fediverse instance. All you have to do is pull the latest from whatever nazi sewer it gets thrown into these days and post it verbatim.

It's not impossible. You used to bulls-eye womp rats in your T-16 back home.

Why is nasa still using a Nazi website?

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 month ago

Because the nazis bought the government that owns nasa

[–] stratoscaster@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Because everyone does. NASA is apolitical, they just want science messaging to reach as many people as it can, which I agree with. Hell, if that meant posting on 4chan I'd agree with that lmao

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

I don't understand. They are stopping posting in one channel in favor of posting on another. It just seems like a cleanup in diverse accounts to make it easier to follow nasa. It would be great if they moved to mastodon or any non-nazi channels, but the change in the tweet doesn't look like much to me.

The budget for posting Curiosity updates has been transferred to some rich dudes wallet.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They are gonna stip posting Curiosity specific updates to Twitter and fold it under the Mars umbrella account.

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

It's just indicating NASA is dealing with budget cuts. It takes away another outlet for people to see the good work they do
