Bill Maher joked about this on his Friday show, saying that all of these super smart guys are trying their best to get the hell off Earth.

I'm watching For All Mankind on apple plus. It's a cool alternative history we're the Russians got to the moon before us.
Makes me think tho. I really have no idea how spaceships work. I've said this b4 but giant gas tanks launch them out of this world then somehow they figure out a way to get back and their little capsules are equipt enough to not freaking burn to shit on reentry. Then they depend on a bunch of parachutes and the navy to go pick them up out of the ocean.
I don't think I'm dumb, maybe some of u (non architects) around here are smarter than I but like compared to average ppl on the street I can hold my own. Yet that is basically the extent of my knowledge of space travel.

If you get a chance to see this series its fantastic. Answers all your questions.

Made by the same guys who made Apollo 13 film. The chip on your phone (last year's model even) had more memory and power than the ones they used on the spaceships.
There's a thread for that

How Does Shit Work?
I'm watching some show where they have a printing press. Made me think, basically all inventions I just take for granted and have no idea how they work. I know Gutenberg invented the printing press and that was huge for human history but I couldn't tell ya how it works beyond a very elementary...

Awww. Thanks man. It means a lot that you consider me to be smarted than the average person on the street.
As for space travel.
One word....
Magnets.
Good call. That's gotta be it. Also gravity and thermodynamics.
That second word I think means like heat and temperature or something.
See...I can sound smart. It's a wonder why the JPL hasn't already recruited me.
Remember what the water in your bong did to the temperature of your weed?
Thermodynamics.
Boom.

AI is here, time to obey our robot overlords!
Now that moon landing is fake. It was all done in a movie set.
I been watching For All Mankind since day 1. I really like the show, wait till you get to season 2. It's basically a war on the moon.
I'm currently enjoying season 3, which takes place in the 90's and they are now on Mars.

The pics of stars and pics of lunch can get mixed up sometimes. They might want to review their recent discovery of Pepperoni on Mars.Top scientist admits 'space telescope image' was actually a slice of chorizo | CNN

Even scientists didn't expect Webb telescope images of Jupiter to be this good
Data has traveled across the solar system to make it into the James Webb Space Telescope, and now we get a better look at the planet Jupiter. NASA shared images of the gas giant's colorful auroras, giant storms and faint rings.
