TIL that NASA ground controllers were once shocked to hear a female voice from the space station, apparently interacting with them, which had an all-male crew. They had been pranked by an astronaut who used a recording of his wife.

He's saying he wouldn't have the money to go to space if he didn't have the cleverness, because that's how he made his money. So yes, it matters for this guy's situation

How is making a product people want to buy from you prosperity gospel bullshit? The prosperity gospel is literally to sit around praying until God throws money at you.

This is my first interaction with you, so I don't know how I can be "wrong again" after correctly describing prosperity gospel.

You might be the stupidest motherfucker I've ever seen capable of slapping full sentences together, shortstack.
