Pretty sure this means radical and revolutionary in the political sense. Though most scientists and astronauts weren’t billionaires - they were government employees.
And honestly, yeah, revolutions like the American one where a bunch of rich people used propaganda, money, and threats to secede so they and an oligarchic “democracy” of white male land owners could pay lower taxes and privatize public land weren’t as radical or revolutionary as subsequent propaganda made them out to be.
I mean it depends, doesn’t it? If landed gentry overthrew a monarch concerned with the welfare of peasantry so they could maintain exploitation it’s not at all radical or revolutionary in the way the meme means it.
Yep. The race to the Moon was just a dick measuring contest between the US and USSR. Manned space travel is a meaningless ego trip for governments. Unmanned space travel is equally useless in practical terms - learning about other planets does nothing to help the proletariat on our own - but at least wastes less money.
Global internet connection via satellite, and GPS, on the other hand, have helped the proletariat in actual practical terms. It’s a shame it took all that billionaire ego dick waving to get there.

It still rings hollow, unless revolutions to overthrow monarchy weren’t radical or revolutionary.
Which revolutions were inaccessible to the poor?

This isn’t really about that, it’s about vibes.
Pretty sure this is just some “I’m 14 and this is deep” shit lol
