All white people and a few black people, waving flags. All of them would think today's libs are insane and evil and wouldn't recognize our country.

All of the patriotism and optimism and no one was sneering at NASA for operating on stolen land or not putting trannies into space and journalists were actually calm and professional. |

Date: September 21st, 2020 9:30 PM Author: exhilarant parlor At that point America still believed it could do “great” things (and could). The post war boom had crested in the 70s, seen by most as a stagnant and divisive decade characterized by the ongoing battles begun in the 60s and America’s first time being humbled by the oil crisis. Reagan promised to “restore” America’s greatness (sound familiar?) and became the cultural embodiment of everything that that meant.
America had won the race to the moon and was bored with space by the time of the shuttle (the Jerry Seinfeld clip shows that) and overall more apathetic and uncertain about the country’s own future. Reagan’s idea to get the first “civilian” astronaut was almost a proto hunger games type crude reality show to drum up people’s interest in space again. In actuality it was a creative idea. And the shuttle was a cool experiment and stepping stone in a reusable space craft and in America’s technological repertoire.
But it all boils down to this was the beginning of America trying to forcememe itself to itself, if that makes sense. This era continued to 9/11 after which something in the national psyche finally cracked. |
