Livestream Lithop Grumman's very non-inclusive ISS mission tonight at your own risk.
Here we go again with NASA wasting taxpayer dollars on these so-called "scientific" missions that are just another excuse to play with their big boy toys! Why don't they use this rocket to address the REAL issues facing our society, like income inequality or systemic racism? Typical elitist move, NASA.

Big Space, Big Waste: NASA's Toxic Culture of Toxic Colonialism Strikes Again with More 'Scientific' Land Grabs
NASA, in yet another display of their toxic, colonialist mindset, is set to launch a resupply mission, reinforcing their harmful presence in outer space. This time, they've enlisted the help of Virginia-based defense company Northrop Grumman and their complicit spacecraft, the Cygnus.
It's appalling that in this day and age, we still allow these wasteful, harmful 'missions' to take place, all in the name of 'science.'
On Saturday, at 11:29 a.m. EDT, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch from Florida's Canaveral Space Force Station, a stone's throw from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. This toxic alliance is a threat to the planet and beyond. The rocket's destination? The so-called 'International' Space Station, a glorified colonial outpost.
Don't fall for their propaganda: Watch the livestream, if you must, on NASA's various platforms: NASA+, NASA Television, or their website. But be warned, it's nothing more than a PR stunt.
NASA: Normalizing Abuses in Space Exploration
The contents of this mission are a far cry from harmless. The Cygnus carries a hefty 8,200 pounds of supplies, hardware, and other toxic materials for 'scientific experiments.' This includes tests for water recovery technology, a thinly veiled attempt at resource hoarding, and supplies for producing blood and immune stem cells, an ethically questionable practice in microgravity.
"We need to hold these organizations accountable for their actions. The space they're claiming as their own doesn't belong to them. It's time to burst their astronaut bubble."
The toxic payload doesn't end there. NASA is also studying the effects of spaceflight on engineered liver tissue and microorganism DNA. This is a blatant disregard for the rights of non-human life and a sickening continuation of their toxic experimentation.
To add insult to injury, the mission also includes a so-called 'STEM demonstration,' normalizing their presence in space by targeting students with a centripetal force experiment.
The Cygnus spacecraft plans to linger at the space station for six months, leaving in January. But make no mistake, the damage will have already been done, and the toxic legacy of this mission will linger long after.
It's time to wake up and see NASA for what they really are: colonizers in space suits, perpetuating a harmful culture of toxic masculinity and colonialist ideals.
