With the more than 9,000 operational satellites currently orbiting Earth, you’d think the very well funded NASA could provide a continuous live transmission of the entire trip to the Moon.
Especially considering it’s been over 55 years since we last communicated in real time with astronauts on the Moon during the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, when Richard Nixon famously spoke with them by telephone from the White House.
The fact that they still cherry pick which clips the public gets to see from these “historic” missions should at least make people a little skeptical and asking why a space agency like NASA, which receives roughly $25 billion a year from taxpayers, cannot simply show the entire thing live.
At some point people start wondering whether this is less about exploration and more about maintaining a narrative, one that reinforces the idea that we’re just insignificant specks drifting through an endless universe.
Once people accept that premise, it’s easy to conclude their lives are meaningless. And if that’s true, why even bother reading past the first page of the Bible?
Or maybe that’s the real point. Keep people looking outward into the void instead of upward, placing their faith not in God, but in the modern religion of scientism.
So the real question might be: who benefits from convincing people they’re just meaningless specks in an infinite universe? 🤔
