The Ohio senator may say the destiny of the U.S. is in outer space, but many people responding to the social media post had other ideas.
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance got all starry-eyed at a post by Elon Musk and was thoroughly mocked for his comments.
On Sunday, Musk’s Space X company managed a tremendous feat: catching a returning rocket booster back at the launch pad with mechanical arms.
After the man-child mogul posted a photo of a successful rocket launch on X, formerly Twitter, Vance posted a tribute to the mission:

But while Vance may say the destiny of the U.S. is to “conquer the stars,” many people responding to the tweet had other ideas.
