The Trump administration is drafting the legal language that will go into a new international agreement called the Artemis Accords that will create standards of behavior for moon mining practices.

I hope it comes down to first come first serve. There is no shortage of collectivists who declare it belongs to all Mankind so all the no loads get a piece.

Wait until they realize the moon is hollow. It was hollowed out and moved to earth’s orbit by aliens. I know this because I saw an Ancient Aliens marathon last Friday.

They better do it before January 2021, Lucy. The Democrats are working 24/7 to steal this election. As far as known, the Republicans are not opposing them. If they are, it is a well kept secret.

Will the left raise hell when they figure out that the only reason to go to the moon or another planet is to exploit its natural mineral resources?

Will the Senate be able to muster the votes to confirm George Conway as Moon Czar?

After all, he has the face for the job.

This has got to be Jared's idea.
