Kamala Harris leaves Earth for word salad on ‘space cooperation’

Houston, we have a problem.

Vice President Kamala Harris aimed for the stars but came up short Wednesday, repeatedly talking about “space cooperation” alongside Mongolian Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai.

“Today, I am pleased to announce that the next steps in our work together will be about further expanding our partnership. In particular, we will discuss the work that we will do together to strengthen our space cooperation,” Harris, 58, said at the White House while President Biden enjoyed the Delaware beach.

“You and I spoke briefly about the beginning of the next era — and, for you, what that means, in terms of your leadership and your vision for the future,” Harris told the prime minister, “and certainly, strengthening our space cooperation would be a part of that agenda — including, of course, using our space cooperation to think about how we strengthen the economic prosperity and development of our nations.”

The meeting between Harris and Luvsannamsrai was meant to build upon a strategic partnership reached in 2019, and the two “discussed ways to increase US-Mongolia space and technology cooperation,” according to the White House.

The vice president has an unfortunate penchant for repeating herself and giving painfully obvious definitions for terms when speaking in public.

She has delivered roundabout and repetitive remarks on artificial intelligence, culture and women’s history in recent months, earning her widespread mockery.

In February, Harris delivered a speech for Congressional Space Medal of Honor recipients that was also panned for its childlike descriptions of space travel.

“They suited up. They waved to their families, and they rode an elevator up nearly 20 stories,” she said, recounting the first trip in nearly a decade to a space station by former NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken.

“They strapped in to their seats and waited as the tanks beneath filled with tens of thousands of gallons of fuel. And then they launched. Yeah, they did,” Harris added before breaking into her signature cackle.

Luvsannamsrai also announced that Mongolia would sign the Open Skies Agreement to allow direct flights between two nations and “promote tourism and trade, business and investment.”

“Mongolia is best known as the birthplace of Genghis Khan and for the great history of Mongolian Empire,” he also said before celebrating the US as the “North Star on our democratic journey.”

The formerly socialist Asian nation underwent a democratic revolution in 1990, moving to a multi-party representative government with a market economy.
