Although NASA was able to succeed in ending the Space Race with the USSR in 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission, today’s goals of setting up a base on the Moon became one of its earlier aspirations. As it turns out, Washington had plans to build a Moon base much earlier.
NASA today is working towards bringing back the next humans and the first woman on the Moon next year through its Artemis program. One of the agency’s goals is also to establish a lunar base by the end of the decade. However, it was recently revealed that Washington already had plans for a lunar base back in the late 1950s, 10 years before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would land on the Moon.
In 1959, in what would seemingly be the height of the Space Race, the US Army brought forth a top-secret plan called Project Horizon. This followed the Soviet’s launch of the Sputnik satellite back in 1957. Project Horizon’s proposal had an opening line that said that there is a need to set up a manned military base on the Moon. The proposal also stressed that establishing a lunar military base was needed as soon as possible for the purposes of national security.
“To be second to the Soviet Union in establishing an outpost on the Moon would be disastrous to our nation’s prestige and in turn our democratic philosophy. Once established, the lunar base will be operated under the control of a unified space command,” according to the proposal. “The space around the Earth and Moon would be considered a military theater.”
Recently, NASA discovered that the galaxy cluster of Abell 2261 does not have a supermassive black hole at its center. The black hole in question is widely believed to have a mass between three and 100 billion times the mass of the Sun. In a study that spanned five years with the use of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA astronomers found that the massive black hole is nowhere to be found. This could pose serious consequences to life on Earth.
Good luck with that under a Biden Administration.
Last paragraph seems to have nothing at all to do with the rest of the article except it involves space.
ZOUNDS! You beat me to it! :)
“Good luck with that under a Biden Administration.”
Exactly. Can’t pay for welfare and medicare for all if you’re using money for this.
First vagina on the moon! What a lofty goal!
I dunno.
Zero Gs would have its advantages in some situations.
Just tell Joe that there are lots of 10-year-old girls with freshly shampooed hair on the moon. He will not only fund it, but he’ll also go himself.
One woman and the rest men? What could possibly go wrong..........LOL!
According to ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’ we had functioning bases on the moon 20 years ago and were up to sending a mission to Jupiter. It all seemed possible and even likely back in 1968. What happened?
“ What happened?”
We got socialism and became stupid.
Democrats.
“You can have your space travel or I can have a condo in Kauai. Guess which one we’re getting?”
“What happened?”
Obama happened. NASA = Muslim outreach.
