It’s hard to define what “Hexbear” is anymore, with so many of the posts coming from random Lemmy instances. Our brand and subculture are diluted and it shows. A lot more confrontation and friction in threads. So it got me thinking. How can we recapture the authentic sense of what Hexbear is and do something nice for the world as a community?
If you’ve been watching India’s moon mission, you know how happy everyone looks in the footage. They’re so proud of their work and the whole nation is congratulating them. Actually the whole world. It’s a massive publicity boost and unites an otherwise polarised nation. Well what’s stopping us from doing that? Think of all the cool things we could accomplish with a space programme. Designing new rockets, exploring new galaxies, maybe colonising a planet or two as a forum. We would let everyone know what Hexbear represents and could mine asteroids for orbital factories that supply our fleet of ships. One thing we might build is a Dyson Sphere, or maybe even a generation ship to raise the next ten generations of our families together on our way to another solar system. I’m a plant scientist and could probably even grow lettuce in microgravity.
We can do this. I just ask that you trust me and send me the money to do so.
Yes. And if anyone wants to open a credit card account and give me the number and not look at the statement, we can achieve this together.

This post made me realize building a space program is the nation level “solution” equivalent of “if we just have a kid it will save our marriage”
I’m waiting for my comrades to join me. Where is everyone.
So is this going to be a kerbal thing or a modded minecraft thing?
Getting outside the ionosphere sounds great and all but I kinda need gravity for my bowls to work.
