About Always-has-been

The "Always has been" meme typically features two astronauts. One astronaut, often shown looking surprised or making a new discovery (such as the Earth being flat, or a specific location like Ohio being the entirety of existence), is confronted by a second astronaut, who is usually behind them, holding a pistol, and calmly stating, "Always has been." This iconic visual setup has been widely adapted across the internet to convey various humorous, ironic, or deadpan revelations.
