Seems likely he's suggesting that going to Mars will use going to the Moon as a stepping stone?

I mean...probably, but we should NOT be talking about going to the Moon. We should be talking about going to Mars, which means first going to the...you know...the thing that...not supposed to talk about it.

It does just seem to be a spectacularly poorly worded way of saying that the Moon (a lunar research and staging point) is part of going to Mars.
"the Moon is a part" [of] "much bigger things we are doing, including Mars".

Which really isn't doing a good job of explaining away Trump being a complete knob. It's just about as stupid to berate NASA for moon missions if the moon is part of getting to Mars, as would be to say that the moon is part of Mars. And honestly, given so many if his previous tweets, either way it's not surprising.

Quite. Still, I can see what he was trying to say... but it illustrates very well why his tweets drag the reputation of his office down (imo). If you or I make a mess of a post here, on Twitter, or wherever, then that's just how it is. For the president of a powerful first world country it's just embarrassing.

Is that the one for which Gaiman ensured Terry had a seat (with the various accoutrements Terry would have wanted had he been able to attend) reserved at the premier public screening? That gesture made me feel tingly inside and I'm a fan of neither Pratchett nor Gaiman.

I find this quite a hilarious case of playing victim on social media to the extreme.
No, Hikind, just because you think you have a noble principle behind your egregious lawsuit, doesn't make it look any less stupid, I'm afraid.

Personally I would prefer a world where the freedom to not listen exists for everyone - some people can get really insufferable.
Also, you went as far as publishing a post in this thread but never checked what the title was?

That's the freedom not to listen, a self-effected act. The ruling is on the other side of the coin: politicians' speech in public domains is public and they can't wilfully block some of the public from that.

You never lose track between America, Aliens, Racialistism, Muslamicals or Conspiracing?
