Never can tell what Black Ops is up to, but... let’s see here. We take over a year to put together a mission, that takes four days to get to the moon, which then deploys another vehicle, which takes weeks to line itself up, which then drops on the target.
And what target? Why, ET’s with the technology to come from wherever they came from (which could be way, way... way... far away) and hide a base on the moon, and make it work for who knows how long.
Smart.
Kind of like getting a really big rock, putting it into a wheelbarrow, rolling it down main street, getting help to lift it from some friends, and dropping it onto the windshield of the Chief of Police’s cruiser.
Now gee, just what might happen next?
On the other hand, it could be like kids throwing rocks through the windows of that old, abandoned “haunted” house at the far end of town, to see how strong the glass was... LOL.
I’m going to put in a place marker for myself, and follow this thread.
