EVELYN: *talking to David and Kengo* So we were talking about what-if-I-was-a-guy, and Sam--
SAM: SHUT UP.
EVELYN: --was like "If you were a guy, I wouldn't get to fuck you :(" Implying that, if I were a guy, I'd be fucking him. ^^ See? He's totally a bottom! :D
SAM: -.- She's putting words in my mouth.
DAVID: Apparently, that's not all she's putting in your mouth...
Did I really just have an omegle conversation debating space exploration? Yes.
You: hey
Stranger: Should the United States federal government substantually increase its exploration and or development of space beyond Earths mesosphear?
You: Hmm
You: i think that the federal government should focus on the problems within our own country first
Stranger: hmm?
You: before going to outer space
Stranger: Like what problems? becauss maybe going to space can fix thess problems
You: Well, first of all
You: even though we're a superpower and are somehow wealthy etc etc
You: we have a terrible debt
You: We should at least try to work towards lessening that
You: Maybe going to space will create more jobs
You: before doing that
You: we would have to spend a lot of money training/for supplies
You: and there's no guarantee that going to space will be profitable
You: I'm pretty sure it isn't, actually
Stranger: We make new texhnology everytime we go into space (velcrow, tamg etc, etc) it would also get our moral up-- because you habe to admit space is freaking awesome
Stranger: and it would make new jobs
Stranger: We could defend ourselves from space
You: Hmm I'm actually not quite sure what velcrow/tamg is
You: But I don't know if it would get our morale up; it's not like 30, 40 years ago
You: when going to space was cool and amazing and new
You: Now, we KNOW that it can be done
You: so it won't be quite as impressive; plus, there's not really that 'space race' going on with any of our rival countries
You: There's not even another country to really compete with, what with our being the only current superpower
Stranger: thats the whole point though (oh and i meant tang.) space could be cool agaon if we go to like mars or venus or something nobody has ever done.
Stranger: And actually China has a space program
Stranger: and so does Russia
Stranger: Canada tracks astroids
Stranger: and if we dtart going into space it could motivate other countries
Stranger: and we could start the next "space race"
You: Well, tbh, if I read on the news that man has reached and stepped foot on Mars or Venus or something
You: I would first think that yeah, it's cool and all
You: but then immediately wonder what we're planning to do there
You: And I'm not saying that other countries don't have space programs; it would be silly if they didn't
You: But it's not that big thing where it was in public eye and people actually cared
You: Like, really, we should focus on more fundamental things
You: like education, even
You: We're not even in the top 50 for literacy
Stranger: Ah, true. (Honestly the only reason i asked is because its my debate topic this year)
You: LOL no worries; I guessed as much
Stranger: And you made really good arguements that i can now gp research and be prepared for (:
