The Autonomous Space Agency Network (ASAN) launched a "protest in space" against President Trump
Donald John TrumpMost Americans break with Trump on Ukraine, but just 45 percent think he should be removed: poll Judge orders Democrats to give notice if they request Trump's NY tax returns Trump's doctor issues letter addressing 'speculation' about visit to Walter Reed 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.
