We take things seriously — so you don’t have to.
Welcome to Get The Side Eye, the digital home of observations that probably shouldn’t need to be said out loud — and yet, here we are.

“Really? That’s what we’re doing now?”
you’re in the right place.
This piece explores the inevitable absurdity of bringing hospitality to the moon, blending real-world production challenges with a sarcastic view of space innovation. It highlights the gap between ambitious visions driven by tech elites and the operational realities that still rely heavily on human intervention. From logistics and food supply to entertainment and staffing, the concept of a lunar hotel becomes both humorous and strangely plausible, reflecting how humanity tends to replicate familiar systems—even in the most hostile environments imaginable.
