Yes and no. I get the point and do actually agree whole heartedly but I think it obscures the reality that we've been observing solar systems as they existed millions of years ago.

We ain't hardly been nowhere in the 'verse yet.

They are not moving faster than light.

The distance between us and them is increasing at a rate than means light leaving earth now could not ever reach them. Such is the impact of an expanding universe.

Trump or Musk?

Dont eat the rich

Throw them into space to see who goes the farthest

Like build one really really big space trabuchet, loaded with a space hotel with all the amenities possible for basically a one way generational ship. Then blast those fuckers towards alpha centari and call it a decade.

Oh, and just for fun, give them one life pod but it only holds 20 people.

But the real kicker? ...they never left the ground And it's all televised.

The launch sequence? Really fast merry go round.

The "artificial gravity"? Lol

The infinite food sources vending machines? Catering.

Elon on top of a super-heavy. He can be like Solomon Epstein.

Sure but even if we had stuck someone on voyager 1, it's only 23 light hours away and has been going almost 50 years.

Might be longer if Musk really guts the NASA

I think this is true of US presidents too.

You can fit all the planets in the solar system between earth and the moon

Not an expert, but an enthusiast. The universe can typically be considered homogeneous and isotropic on a large scale (it looks the same in all areas, and also looks similar no matter which direction you happen to be looking) for the sake of understanding and performing physical calculations. The beach may also be considered homogeneous and isototropic, but we know that if we dig down, we'll find interesting materials, organisms, and even various grades of sand (for context).

The universe is roughly symmetrical even though there are structures and features of great complexity when you look close enough (such as atoms, you, me, horses, and icebergs). This is probably because the universe originated from a single infinitely dense point where there wasn't room for much diversity or clumping of matter. As the universe expanded, random quantum fluctuations and coalescence, perhaps due to gravity and the various electrical and atomic forces, is to thank for the formation of elements, stars, and galaxies, over the last 14 billion years (or however old the Universe is supposed to be).

Anyways. It's represented as symmetrical because it's convenient and true on a large scale, but its always more complicated the deeper you look.

Why would it bankrupt the them when the Soviets were never going to the moon?

At least, that's what some people seem to believe.
