We made it to the moon for cheaper than NASA or Russia, or any colonial power ever has! (very positive)

Take that Great Britain and screw you all colonizers and imperialism (extremely derogatory).

On this day in history -- August 15th, 1947 India became independent from Great Britain. 🇮🇳

Pakistan's Independence Day was yesterday! (August 14th, 1947). 🇵🇰

After 200 years of English violence and colonial interference (starting around the late 18th century) and 50+ years of outright English colonialism on the Indian Subcontinent, India (and Pakistan) were free from England.

Indian Independence Movement.

Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.

Rani of Jhansi.

Sailor's Slops

1600s-1700s

Extremely rare survival of a shirt and breeches, called slops, as worn by sailors from the late 16th through to the 18th centuries. This unique set of loose, practical sailor’s clothing reveals life aboard ship. They are made of very strong linen to endure the hard, rough work. There is tar across the front from hauling ropes. The breeches are heavily mended and patched, which the sailor would have done himself.

On August 15th, 1947, India became free from British colonialism and violent oppression by the British empire. On Wednesday August 23rd, 2023, India landed a spacecraft on the South Pole of the moon, being the 4th country of all nations to get to the moon and the first to get to the South Pole of the moon. I am proud to be brown.

It’s ironic and sad that Spielberg celebrates this kind of story.
