Why does one wake up with a different mood than the one one goes to bed with? I was in a better mood last night. This morning, everything seems different and ominous.
The idea from this post came from reading this hopeful post on Behind the Black, which was written about a year before last year's election. The idea was that the space program just needed to be FREE from government control. But Obama was re-elected, and so the march towards the idiocracy continues.
I'd like to think that the human spirit can win over the attempt to crush it. That's what this scene was about. Wallace screams "Freedom" as his last word, which is not what his torturers wanted. They wanted him to cave in and give them what they wanted to hear, which was a cry for mercy.
The feeling this morning is that, in the real world, as opposed to the movies, Wallace may have given in and said "mercy" after all.
Maybe Elon Musk succeeds, but SpaceX almost went under in 2008. It is a fragile thing, as life itself is.
