I'm wondering the same.

is there anything about this mission that demanded a manned spaceflight?
You don't just send astronauts into space for a photo op. You pair the photo op with critical testing of systems required to support the next iterations of the mission.
You're criticizing NASA, a public entity, as if they are in the same club as the billionaires making phallus-shaped rockets and putting pop stars into space. They're not the same.
Also, the Artemis Program's entire budget so far, over the span of ~ a decade is 93 billion. The US spends 997 billion on its war machine every single year.
Maybe they could bomb, shoot, or invade 10% less in the future and give that money to support those in need?
One of the ways it could benefit humanity is to offload the destruction of our environment in pursuit of rare earth metals, natural gases, to a moon or planet where the environment does not support life.
Strip mining and fracking are actively and rapidly destroying our planet. Stopping those activities here would be a massive improvement to our chances of survival on Earth into the future.
Black metal. Lots of shitty people have used it as a vessel for their shitty views. I don't support them financially, but god damn do some of them make great music.
One recognizable upper-crust name would be Varg Vikernes and his Burzum project. Absolute shitstain of a huma. But my god does he know how to craft atmosphere.
Yup. I could tell by the trailers that it was completely different and super arcadey. I waited to play it at a friend's house before considering buying it and once I felt the driving for the first time, I never touched the game again. It just killed so much of the fun for me.
Wow, I had no idea. That's so interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Is it common in Finnish for proper name spelling to be altered like that? "Vatasen"/Vatanen
Finnish is probably my favourite foreign (to me) language. The Finnish accent in English just captures my attention for some reason. Also love how unique it is on paper. Just super cool. There's a lot to admire about Finns and Finland in general. I'd really like to take a trip out to Oulu and jist ride a bike everywhere.
Ari Vatanen was a badass too. I wish my country had rally heritage like that.
100% agree. The ending made zero sense to me as a kid, but playing it again last year and seeing how borderline prophetic some of its themes have become was absolutely mindblowing.
Yet so prescient. It's wild how well the themes blend in with our current society.
Is this just willful ignorance, or...?

Does he know who Tate is? Tate might just recognize Fieri and is trying to chum it up with him.
