The Autonomous Space Agency Network (ASAN) launched a "protest in space" against President Trump
Donald John TrumpOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Pelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Trump mocks Biden appearance, mask use ahead of first debate MORE this week in solidarity with the upcoming March for Science by sending a weather balloon to space with a printed-out anti-Trump tweet attached to it.
ASAN launched six months ago to focus on funding and carrying out space exploration programs, according to its website.
On Wednesday, the group shared a video of its "first protest in space" against Trump and inspired by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who said: "From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a b----."
The group's message used Mitchell's words and was addressed to Trump from 90,000 feet in the stratosphere.
ASAN shared more about its "protest" on Twitter.
