I get the meme and the juxtaposition is... depressing, but it's sad how people don't realize that this is an international mission - Jeremy Hansen is a Canadian, 1/2 of the capsule was built by the ESA, the DSN sites are in the US, Spain and Australia... This really isn't a singularly American affair, and it's rather bleak that we can erase all that cooperation because of this stupid fucking war.

The op is erasing the cooperation right now in picturing this as an US project. To be fair, it primarily is a us financed affair.
