Uuuuuuuuuuugh…

The video, politics aside, is just horrifying in its cringiness. Badly written, badly acted, terrible plot. Kids – all actors of course, chosen seemign to tick diversity boxes – set about to build telescopes… but it’s never explained how scopes work. The science, physics, engineering of a telescope, or even the history of telescopes, is left out. but oh boy, they get to decorate them! Because that’s what kids desperate for STEM want: none of that “explanation” crap, bring on the glitter! NOTE: there are none of those evil, EEEEEVIL straight white cis males among the “team” of kids. Presumably they’re on their own team. That secondary team didn’t get any screen time and probably didn’t get to decorate their scopes. They had to make do with history and math lessons, and the heartache of designing and building their own equatorial mounts.

If for some reason you want to subject yourself to the whole thing unfiltered… don’t blame me, you wanted it. Here ya go, in all its ratioed glory.

Your tax dollars at “work.”
