I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking of how I could take young Founders and just show them like, idk, Pink Pony Club and doechii and serve them good Thai food with like Vietnamese coffee and then send them home after showing them Obama White House pictures. I don't know why I do but
He died before the first flight. Something that was so inconceivable that literally weeks before it happened the New York Times published an article talking about how it was between 1 and 10 million years away.
He, along with Verne, would be blown away by the moon landing.
Marx would look around and say this is exactly what o warned you about and point out how we went to the moon using tax dollars not privately held dollars. He probably also point out how Apollo program employed 400,000 people through 20,000 different organizations, corps, universities, contracts, etc
Marx would probably be more impressed that a feudal society like the Russian Empire managed to get to space before the already industrial power of the US.
Getting to the moon is a huge achievement. I don't want to downplay that but given the context the cosmonauts achieved much more.
Oh but yeah capitalism is still fucked. But holy shit, good job on the moon. I bet capitalists even tried to take credit for that even though governments paid for everything”
Mein fuhrer, some of ze good news, uns some of ze bad news: ze good news? Von Braun’s rockets are definitely going to vork… und for ze bad news… vell, let’s just say you’re going to have an April wedding.
This is only a zinger if you know nothing about the space race. The "communists" had the first satellite, the first lunar fly by, the first lunar probe landing, and the first man and woman in space.
please do not explain marx to me in the replies to my screenshot joke about anyone from before the 20th century being fascinated by humans walking on the moon
If you explained the autopen to Ben Franklin he'd ask about a 100 more compelling possibly automated devices and then simply disappear for a week having independently invented the concept of gooning
I just fell out of my chair. 😂😆 Great response. Omg. And….did it eloquently without offense as you could have been much more specific. Butt, that’s for another day. 🤪
but in 1786 Jefferson made a copying press and in 1803 John Isaac Hawkins made a polygraph and got a patent, 1804 Jefferson acquire his first one, bought several more
BEN FRANKLIN: (attaching a key to a kite in an electrical storm) I know this is risky but this is the only way our country will eventually have internet porn.
Thomas Jefferson used something similar to, albeit technologically simpler to, the autopen while he was president called a "polygraph". (not the machine that's bad at detecting lies)

Lol. Stealing it.
Oh, you're not going to slander capitalism at all, are you? Damn.
Assuming they're de-atomizers that create a copy, that version of you is functionally dead, and you're trying to prosecute a clone now.
My understanding is that teleporters are free amnesty. Need Hamilton's answer.

He lived in the age of Jules Verne, he wasn't captain caveman.
He, along with Verne, would be blown away by the moon landing.
But not flabbergasted.
Congrats. The guy lived in a time where going to space was in ridiculous fiction, which was depicted like being shot out of a canon.
People were astounded when we actually did it. Grow up.

Marx: What did they choose instead ?
Me: Systems where luck & privilege outweigh hard work and wealth re-distribution is now 5 dudes having 50% of ALL the wealth
Me: umm
Marx: what the fuck, man?

No explanation would be required.
Thomas Jefferson used an autopen.
I've seen it in the Smithsonian: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygraph_(duplicating_device)

He thought it was pretty rad.
