Iā€™m pretty sure Spaceship Earth is funded by Siemens AG. They have a bunch of divisions, one now horribly renamed. If Body Wars was still running, theyā€™d be a great fit for Siemens Healthineer sponsorship.

Swear Like Siemensā€™es derided last minute by Erdogan Turkoewicz, president of someplace.
Mechanical Healthineer Rockabilly Band and Health Data Extractor has been 97% ready for 17 years running, what could go wrong?
All-singing all-dancing Lorum Ipsum was choreographed and polling awesome, when someone dropped in an unrhymable placeholder.

Did they have him fight a moon hoax truther?

You know, I think Iā€™d pay money to see Aldrin go a few rounds in the ring with a moon hoax truther. Tough old man knows where he went and what he saw.

Forwarded it to our engineer that works closely with Siemensā€¦ She is threatening me with bodily harm for the earworm she is now afflicted with ā€“ it seems to be causing her to come up with many *ineer titles for our company.
