Astronauts on the moon with America First sign and extraction plans laugh at the old Apollo 11 peace plaque, highlighting space race satire.
Patrick Chappatte, Le Temps, Switzerland
The cartoon shows three astronauts on the moon\\\\\\\'s surface, with Earth visible in the background. One holds a sign reading America First while carrying a weapon, another grips a document titled Extraction with a mining diagram, and the third wields a pickaxe next to a plaque stating We came in peace for all mankind from July 1969 A.D. near the Apollo 11 lander flagged with the US stars and stripes. A speech bubble declares Wow, we really were woke! The scene captures space race satire, lunar exploration humor, political cartoon commentary on shifting priorities from global peace to nationalistic resource grabs, all in Patrick Chappatte\\\\\\\'s style.
