He had heard of the Jedi, he just thought they were charlatans, e.g., “A lot of simple tricks and nonsense.” And there could be trillions of people, like Din and Carga, who know nothing about the Jedi or the Force. The stories just tend to focus on people who are better informed. 

Quick question, what the hell is “global space”?

Cool. So what are you doing to protect that data from Facebook, who has shown even more willingness to abuse it for profit?

I didn’t know your mom was Irish!

I’m not generally in favor of further increasing the military might of the Empire, but if Space Force has to exist anyway, the only thing it should be doing is building Gundams. I’m pretty sure we’re driving over the cliff of extinction fairly soon, and if we’re headed that way anyway, I think it would be nice if we…

Cork Carol? That was my mom’s nickname in college! 

It was a vanity creation of Donald Trump that had all the depth of a 7 year old smashing green Army guys together.

Agreed. And by “space race” you mean the thing we won over 60 years ago, right?

Diversity at NASA was literally how we got there in the first place. 

Senators Ted Cruz and Eric Schmitt warned that the space agency is becoming too politicized.

“If NASA is seen as partisan, that is very bad for space and space exploration,”

“Woke.”

“reality, Senator Cruz—and you know I love you—is the fact that we have political differences, but I can guarantee you that NASA is being run in a nonpartisan way,”

What these clowns also fail to realize is how enhanced diversity at NASA can only work to IMPROVE the agency and its efforts to return to the Moon. 

...and by the way, WHAT space race? 

I can’t see him having the attention span to watch “Hidden Figures” in the first place, unless they were showing it on a flight to Cancun. 

These two senators aren’t really attempting to do anything. They’re just generating sound bites so they can tell their supporters they pushed back against the Leftist Woke Agenda. Their interest in changing what NASA does ended after the cameras were turned off.

The nice thing about the phrase “with all due respect...” is that it is accurate, even when none is due.
