Western liberals weren’t paying attention to the years of massive protests against corruption and consolidation of power that make Trump and his pet SCOTUS look like amateurs even to the liberal-Zionist Ashkenazi centrists, starting well before 2023. Western media loves to totally ignore the millions of Israeli subjects living under permanent martial law, too, so of course their viewership would say “democracy” based on what they were shown. The final crack in the facade doesn’t make the lies before it real.

Ask the average Mizrahi restaurant worker living in a moldy studio sublet in Rehovoth what good that weapon money is doing them. The upper classes of both countries make out just fine, everyone else suffers.

Federal money goes into the pockets of US corporations, spare weapons using the same tech “mysteriously” show up around the world in the hands of extremist groups the US openly condemns, and everyone involved gets to pat themselves on the backs for “supporting the Jewish people” as their stock portfolios climb.

No, all the danger to children comes from satanic pedophiles cold-messaging strangers from trailer parks in hell. Billionaires can always be trusted with sensitive data and photos of children. Parents also notoriously never do anything bad to their children.

9 months is a typical direct transfer, using a traditional rocket engine whose thrust is so high you can basically treat it as infinite: accelerate up to your transfer speed in a few minutes and coast until you need to slow down in a similarly negligible amount of time. You need to set a lot of gas on fire in those few minutes, though. Electric propulsion is so low thrust that it can’t put you on that kind of direct trajectory in one go, so the trip is more of a slow spiral around the sun with continuous thrust the whole way. The tradeoff for everything taking forever is unbelievable fuel savings, which is a surprisingly common occurrence in space travel.

Most of the energy from the rocket that launched the satellite went into pushing it fast sideways. If you wanted to slow it down enough to drop straight down, you’d just about need a second rocket to stop it.
