To believe the earth is a ball and spinning through space, one would have to believe
these representatives of NASA. One would have to trust in what they are saying. Obviously !!

We are going to mars thanks to NASA, maybe... [oh no ..giant cats..]
This weekend out of the city we had a rare chance to see the great space bear/sheep/mouse/chupacabra (cabrachupa "sucker-goat" really) beast. Identification seems dependent on the observer's presuppositions on the nature of great space-beasts. I liked it a for a young Arcturan Mega Donkey when it turned it's head, I guess everyone gets that "being watched" feeling.
I had lots of time by the hotel pool so relented and watched @zmaj's 14 minute video below 5 "facts". The presenter's accent is reminiscent of a guy I know from Rockport TX, reasons partly explained.
He speaks gibberish, blingy blangy bib, big numbers! bib baroomm... would have made as much sense to me. There is no point in commenting on the mentioned science & math, an art history paper comparing a fresh cow pat and the Mona Lisa would be more worthwhile, the fallacies are thick, Chewbacca defense etc.. However it does seem clear that the video is a resume/showpiece for becoming a lobbyist, I'd assume the guy is quite active and has other videos. His voice is not melodious so I guess he saw no opportunity in Texas' crowded faith/marketing industry.
This is what is done lately as practice for corporate and Washington lobbyist work, pick something nobody really sees as an issue, raise a stink from nothing and pied piper the participation ribbon wearing Dunning Kruger Krew The '80s Californian born "self-esteem" movement in schools has a lot to answer for, "personal truth" hahaha, a gold seam for people who talk for a living.
Of course you have to show your a bit evil so the part about kids pestering their teachers with stuff he knows he just made up will have his prospective employers giggling their asses off "Thank you for smoking" style.
I was discussing exactly this with a guy who is involved with a Houston megachurch (he was off his head on ayahuasca, aka yagé, in the hotel I was staying in here in Colombia). He had wanted to work the petro lobby crowd as the opportunities to travel are good but he got an opening after working for a Houston lobbyist and got stuck on the prosperity whatever stuff. Grubbing and rooting in moral garbage seems to be an increasingly common way to 'pay the mortgage'. I used to work for Dell so spent time in Texas myself, Austin was ok but wow, some of the guys were from a mirror world where wrong was right.
I've asked 5 Americans now and nobody can identify this car. I took the photo recently but have not had a chance to get back and have a closer look.
I am thinking it would make a fun hybrid conversion, 1.6 - 2L modern engine married with electric front wheel drive so 4 WD in total. Perfect for the hills here in Colombia.
Seems quite late 70s/80s looking square lights but an older back?
Cheers, I have an employee who lives not far from it. I'll have him take a closer look.
The rectangular running lights on the Duster are a very good match as is the flat front and wheel arch shape but the single hood inlet does not match (could be modified). It is surprising how much most US cars of the era look exactly the same in the hind quarters.
