I don’t get it, what are we facepalming here?

For the human race, we should always be doing sciencey things.

We are facepalming James. At least I am.

Ah good, was hoping for that!

Alright, so James is misinformed (at least according to Jens) but I'm not exactly sold on pronouncing humanity without hope and moving to the forest yet...

I don't get people like James.

If they think it's a lost cause, why are they still here?

Oh, they just wanna condemn other people for having a different view.

So to paraphrase him accurately, "people who support spending this money on space are a lost cause".

Fine James, put down whatever device you used to post this, because everything he's using was majorly influenced by this waste of money.

“No Hope for the Human Race” is the name of the group on Facebook, where it was posted.

I don't know why potato chips needed to be dragged into this.

remove tax exempt status for the church

So, you want a Christian Theocracy?

They're tax exempt because they have no representation in government.

You start taxing them and nearly every republican will donate to the ones that push their view, and the millions they disburse to charities would go to politics.

In 2021: donations to Christian organizations was over 23 billion dollars. Anyone else wanna start taxing churches?

That's just not true. I don't know where you got that from
