    How is the state of Wales? Just like England or is it more atune to Scotland? Might be interesting if England was ejected and the UK became a Celtic Union of sorts.

    The system is also inherently broken as well, though. There are way too few house reps (~700,000 per one rep, not much representation eh? Maybe we should try 100k-200k per rep.), the Senate is simply an unfair system as it gives more power to land than the American people, the Electoral College is an ancient system by now that serves no real purpose, it only gives favor-ability to swing states, while small states just vote the same way every time, first past the post is also flawed from its concept on a scale like this, it's good when there's only two options, but any more and it begins to break down (see: the outbreak of the Civil War)

    Gerrymandering is also a massive problem, a majority (over 50%) voted for Democrats in NC for example, yet only got 3 out of 13 house seats, 23% of the total. This is in a year where the use of the ballot box shot through the roof as well. We do need to fix it through our future uses, but the reason it dived down this far is because we're using outdated systems, because we're lazy and hate change.

    That's kind of what it is, to be fair, it's to get people inspired for NASA, a reminder that they're doing great things still, and reaffirming to American society, one which has continuously cut NASA's funding post-Space Race, that there is still much to be done in this day and age.
