@Goblin_Slayer_Floki I'm seeing the gdp of the US as 18.57t

I don't know how he managed to shave off 2 **trillion** dollars

ah, old data. that's why.

From where? World Bank has the US at 20.4t and uk at 2.9t

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki I googled `us gdp`

((((Google))))

pleb

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki can you give me where you're getting 20.4t from?

using google is subsidising communists

2.3% real growth to that number in 2017

and forcasted similar for 2018 hard numbers not released yet

The Space Marines will fix all this

let's get astroid mining going

give those coal miners a job

I wish trump would cancel SLS already.

that thing is a giant burning pit of money

We can build brand new super structures with the minerals mined

We just gotta, you know, invent those magical space mines and space refineries.

Um. You know the Military does some of the most innovatingm. Adding that he already uped the NASA space program budget when he took office [something obama slashed to add to the earth side of NASA] If the molitary is tasked with something like putting a base on the moon.

It's not like you can just scoop dirt off the ground and build a space station out of it.

it will get done far quicker than it would have otherwise

i'm not sure what you're arguing with here.

I wasnt. Just stating with all the laughs. Dont ignore what good can come from it.

Whats the SLS?

space launch system

it's the government rocket program

I thought it was already retired

and it's completely fucking useless.

nah, you're thinking of the shuttle i think.

Naw the whole system was retired under Obama budget cuts

?
